The jdbc driver uses thrift so if thrift can't then jdbc can't. This can be surprisingly difficult to do. Hive can split a query into x hadoop jobs and some will run in parallel and some will run in sequence. I've used oracle in the past (10 and 11) and I could also never find out how long a large job would take, which leads me to suspect it's not a trivial thing to do.
