Richard Webb commented on HIVE-6992:
------------------------------------
I'd say this was a bug rather than a new feature. Getting the metadata of a
prepared statement without executing it is rather important for us.
> Implement PreparedStatement.getMetaData(), getParmeterMetaData()

> Project: Hive
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: JDBC
> Reporter: Bill Oliver
>
> It would be very helpful to have methods PreparedStatement.getMetaData() and
> also PreparedStatement.getParameterMetaData() implemented.
> I especially would like PreparedStatmeent.getMetaData() implemented, as I
> could prepare a SQL statement, and then get information about the result set,
> as well as information that the query is valid.
> I am pretty sure this information is available in some form. When you do an
> "EXPLAIN query", the explain operation shows information about the result set
> including the column name/aliases and the column types.
> thanks you
