Database and Table

In Database and Table Editor, you can introspect the databases and tables existing in HCatalog.

You can perform the following operations on databases or tables:

If you want to introspect all the databases that currently exist in the specified HCatalog server, click Introspect Database. When you select one of them from the database list, the plug-in generates a database with definitions. See Database for more information about the introspected database.

Removing Databases or Tables

If you want to remove a selected database or table from the Database list, click Remove.

Introspecting Tables

If you want to introspect all the tables that currently exist in a specified database, click Introspect Table. When you select one of them from the table list, the plug-in generates a table with definitions. See Table for more information about the introspected table.

Generating Table Schema

If you want to generate table schema, click Generate Schema. You can then enter a name for the schema file, which is stored in the Schemas folder in your project.
