Hive metastore support?

[antonputra]

1. Is there a way to connect to Hive metastore to enable Hive quires agains existing Hive tables such as SparkHiveContext does? https://spark.apache.org/docs/latest/api/java/org/apache/spark/sql/hive/HiveContext.html
2. Is it possible not only to read but also to write to Hive metastore like execute "CREATE TABLE" or "ALTER TABLE" statements?

I would like to know any existing Golang API to connect to Hive.

@chrislusf - can https://github.com/derekgr/hivething be used?

This hive lib can query, but in a streaming way. Ideally something can do concurrent queries.

Ideally, it would be great to have a hive metarepo to control datasets in relational way, but have kind of an OLAP engine(similar to Apache Druid) as for example cockroachdb exposes a Postgres API for OLTP.
