@gatorsmile, what is the reason for passing the client as a field of
HiveExternalCatalog and not on its own? This requires casting the catalog to
access the client, and there doesn't appear to be an obvious reason not to pass
the client separately.
Given that this is a problem -- the proposed interface was returning a
wrapped catalog -- I'm trying to understand why it is this way and whether it
should be changed.
