Naveen Gangam commented on HIVE-24447:
--------------------------------------
As part of the initial commit, IDataConnectorProvider interface also defines
the following methods. The implementation is left to the discretion of the
connector providers. The JDBC-based providers currently do not support these
operations. They will throw exceptions that these operations are not supported.
{noformat}
/**
* Creates a table with the given name in the remote data source. Conversion
between hive data types
* and native data types is handled by the provider.
* @param table A Hive table object to translate and create in remote data
source.
* @return boolean True if the operation succeeded or false otherwise
* @throws MetaException To indicate any failures in executing this operation.
*/
boolean createTable(Table table) throws MetaException;
/**
* Drop an existing table with the given name in the remote data source.
* @param tableName Table name to drop from the remote data source.
* @return boolean True if the operation succeeded or false otherwise
* @throws MetaException To indicate any failures in executing this operation.
*/
boolean dropTable(String tableName) throws MetaException;
/**
* Alter an existing table in the remote data source.
* @param tableName Table name to alter in the remote datasource.
* @param newTable New Table object to modify the existing table with.
* @return boolean True if the operation succeeded or false otherwise.
* @throws MetaException To indicate any failures in executing this operation.
