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.

Is it worth making a patch for this?

    Hi Bennie,

    Sounds great! That should be very useful for users.
    It would be nice to have more jdbc functionality on hive jdbc.

    Thanks,

    This would certainly be useful. When creating the JIRA you can make it a
    child task to this one:
