INFORMATION_SCHEMA is part of the SQL92 standard. This is a feature
supported and widely used in most mature RDBMs. The idea is to enable
that for Hive as well.

information_schema in metastore

I recently noticed the work done in HIVE-16946
 related to information
schema. Based on what I understand so far, it uses JdbcSerDe to create hive
tables similar to metastore db tables. It looks like an interesting idea. Can
someone share how is it used and what was the motivation to add it?

Thanks,
