> I've been using the hive jdbc driver more and more and was missing some functionality which I added
> HiveDatabaseMetaData.getTables
> Using "show tables" to get the info from hive.
> HiveDatabaseMetaData.getColumns
> Using "describe tablename" to get the columns.
> This makes using something like SQuirreL a lot nicer since you have the list of tables and just click on the content tab to see what's in the table.
> I also implemented
> HiveResultSet.getObject(String columnName) so you call most get* methods based on the column name.
