I also like the idea of branching / tagging tables. > And I suppose Hive can support this easily as well then, if it's already able to parse metadata tables. AFAIK we do not have a way to expose table metadata ATM. I am still not sure what would be the best way to allow searching for snapshots etc. If I remember correctly then Expedia had a way to create specific Hive tables where the schema was the `SNAPSHOT_SCHEMA` and the content was the list of the snapshots, but that required the user to create a second table just to query the metadata. @massdosage might know more. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
