Hi Hadoop experts,

Does anyone know that is there a way to distinguish between tables/views at the 
loading time? Currently the webHCat API just has a get table 
API<https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/WebHCat+Reference+GetTables>,
 which returns some basic information of a list of tables/views  – but it does 
not distinguish between those two entities in that API. We don’t want to query 
for details for each table since that may take a long time – so is there a 
method to get the basic properties of all the tables/views at the same time so 
we could distinguish them?
Thanks☺

Xiaoyong
