Review comment:
       catching `Throwable` always sound very dangerous to me, because `Error` 
indicates serious problems that a reasonable application should not try to 
catch,  and I would much prefer just catching `RuntimeException` or at least 
just `Exception`. Was there any particular reason for `HiveTableOperations` to 
catch `Throwable`? @RussellSpitzer
