> For some uses cases it is necessary to know the output schema for a HiveQL before executing the query. But there is no existing client API that provides this information.
> Hive JDBC doesn't provide the schema for parametric types in {{ResultSetMetaData}}.
> GenericUDTFGetSplits bundles the proper schema metadata with the fragments for input splits. An option can be added to return only the schema metadata from compilation, and the generation of input splits can be skipped.
