Daniel Barclay (Drill) commented on DRILL-2449:
-----------------------------------------------

> Since drill does not support Procedures, we should throw a SQLException.

Not quite.  We should return a valid representation of a result set (a non-null 
ResultSet pointer)--that it what tools handle.

Since/if Drill does not support procedures, there are no procedures, so we 
should return the normal representation of a set of zero things--a 
representation of an empty result (a result table with no rows).

(Note that the JDBC API spec. (Javadoc) for getProcedures(...) says:  "Throws 
... SQLException ... if a database access error occurs."  Receiving a call to 
getProcedures(...) isn't really a database (Drill) error.)

> Since drill does not support Procedures, we should throw a SQLException. 
> Drill currently returns 'null'. This could be a cause of concern because some 
> analytic tools might be making calls to this method and any subsequent 
> operations would return an NPE
