# List Hive tables in all databases via beeline
#
# FILTER environment variable will restrict to matching fully qualified tables (<db>.<table>)
#
# Tested on Hive 1.1.0 on CDH 5.10, 5.16

# For Hive 3.0+ information schema is finally available which is more efficient than iterating per database eg.
#
# SELECT * FROM information_schema.tables
# (table_catalog, table_schema, table_name)

# For Hive < 3.0 - consider using adjacent impala_list_tables.sh instead as it is much faster

# For a better version written in Python see DevOps Python tools repo:
#
# https://github.com/harisekhon/devops-python-tools

# Hive doesn't suffer from db authz issue listing metadata like Impala, which gets:
#
# ERROR: AuthorizationException: User '<user>@<domain>' does not have privileges to access: default   Default Hive database.*.*
