Hi,

Hive 0.10.0 over Hadoop 1.0.4.

Further to my filtering questions of before.
I would like to be able to access the table properties from inside my custom 
InputFormat.
I've done searches and there seem to be some other people who have had a 
similar problem.
The closest I can see to a solution is to use
                MapredWork mrwork = Utilities.getMapRedWork(configuration);
but this fails for me with the error below.
I'm not truly surprised because I and trying to make sure that my query
runs without a map/reduce and some of the e-mails suggest that in this case:

"...no mapred job is
run, so this trick doesn't work (and instead, the Configuration object
can be used, since it's local)."

Any pointers would be very much appreciated.
