> Drill's implementation of {{DatabaseMetaData.getColumns(...)}} (currently at {{org.apache.drill.jdbc.MetaImpl.getColumns()}}) doesn't match the JDBC specification (the Javadoc documentation for {{DatabaseMetaData.getColumns(...)}} (as of Java 7)).  In the returned {{ResultSet}}:
> 1. Column {{DATA_TYPE}} is of type {{VARCHAR}} (the type name) rather than being of type {{INTEGER}} (with values per {{java.sql.Types.*}}).
> 2. Column {{TYPE_NAME}} is missing.
> 3. Column {{COLUMN_SIZE}} is missing.
> 4. (Columns after {{DATA_TYPE}} are at incorrect indexes.)
> 5. Column {{DECIMAL_DIGITS}} is misnamed {{DECIMAL_PRECISION}}.
> 6. Column {{REMARKS}} is an empty string, but probably should be {{NULL}}.
> 7. Column {{COLUMN_DEF}} is an empty string, but probably should be {{NULL}}.
> 8. Column {{CHAR_OCTET_LENGTH}} is always {{4}}, but should be "the maximum number of bytes in the _column_" for character types .
> 9. Column {{ORDINAL_POSITION}} is always {{1}}, but should be the index of the specific column.
> 10. Column {{IS_NULLABLE}} is {{'YES'}}, which doesn't seem to correspond to the value for {{NULLABLE}} ({{DatabaseMetaData.columnNullableUnknown}}).
> 11. Column {{SCOPE_CATALOG}} is an empty string, but should be {{NULL}}.
> 12. Column {{SCOPE_SCHEMA}} is an empty string, but should be {{NULL}}.
> 13. Column {{SCOPE_TABLE}} is an empty string, but should be {{NULL}}.
> 14. Column {{SOURCE_DATA_TYPE}} is an empty string, but should be {{NULL}}.
> (Other columns to check:
> Re {{BUFFER_LENGTH}}, {{SQL_DATA_TYPE}}, and {{SQL_DATETIME_SUB}}:  When JDBC says a column is not used, are there any requirements on the values (e.g., being {{NULL}})? 
> Re {{IS_AUTOINCREMENT}}:  Do we know that a column is not auto-incremented?  If so, the value could be {{'NO'}} rather than an empty string.
> Re {{IS_GENERATEDCOLUMN}}:  Do we know that a column is not generated?  If so, the value could be {{'NO'}} rather than an empty string.
> Re {{NULLABLE}} (and {{IS_NULLABLE}}):  Do know whether a column is nullable or not?  If so, we could return the specific answer rather that just saying that it's unknown.
> )
