What kind of data do you want to add? You can add arbitrary key, val pairs to table & sd metadata objects right now. It is a little bit of work If you want to add new objects.

Ok. Thanks. What should I do if I want to extend the hive metadata, for example adding some fields to table/database schema or adding new meta types? -- Best regards!
