>             Project: Flink
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: Connectors / Hive

>             Fix For: 1.13.0

> Now the underlying rules are:
>  * HiveCatalog.createTable , hive table has false of {{isGeneric}} flag, generic table has no flag.
>  * HiveCatalog.getTable , generic table has true of {{isGeneric}} flag, hive table has no flag.
> It is very difficult to understand and easy to cause bugs.
> Whether it's {{createTable}} or {{getTable}} of {{HiveCatalog}}, there should be two types of objects that are consistent: {{HiveCatalogTable}} and Flink {{CatalogTableImpl}}.
> Timo: From a logical perspective, the {{HiveCatalog}} should deal with this additional property while storing and retrieving a {{CatalogTable}}. The {{isGeneric}} should not travel through the stack of regular Flink connector options. It is an internal property from the {{HiveCatalog}} through a custom {{HiveCatalogTable}} to a custom {{HiveFactory}}. It should be stored as a member variable in a {{HiveCatalogTable}}.
