             Summary: Add MetaData exploration to JDBC Interpreter
                 Key: ZEPPELIN-1824
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZEPPELIN-1824
             Project: Zeppelin
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: Interpreters
    Affects Versions: 0.6.2
            Reporter: Peter McCaffrey
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: 0.7.0


Zeppelin currently lacks features for data source metadata exploration. This is 
often a need for those building dashboards and composing queries. This is 
especially true for people working with large RDBMS. In most cases, the 
requisite functionality for these users is simple: see what tables and views 
are available and see what column metadata is there for a given table or view.

This is a modest early step in adding metadata support and focuses on the JDBC 
Interpreter. It creates a keyword, "explore" which can be used either in 
isolation for data source metadata or followed with the name of a database 
object for object metadata.
