------------------------------------

John,

I noticed schema support is geeing added (HIVE-675) but as far as I can tell 
there is no such thing as catalog's in hive right?
>From what I can tell:
MySQL does not understand "schema", you have to use "catalog".
Oracle does not understand "catalog", you have to use "schema".

So it seems like it's more of a semantics thing. Since the other patch talks 
about schema's perhaps that's what we should also call it?

fyi, I'm currently working on the points you mentioned. 

Bennie.

> I've been using the hive jdbc driver more and more and was missing some 
> functionality which I added
> HiveDatabaseMetaData.getTables
> Using "show tables" to get the info from hive.
> HiveDatabaseMetaData.getColumns
> Using "describe tablename" to get the columns.
> This makes using something like SQuirreL a lot nicer since you have the list 
> of tables and just click on the content tab to see what's in the table.
> I also implemented
> HiveResultSet.getObject(String columnName) so you call most get* methods 
> based on the column name.
