Description

Since version 2.0, Hive uses "schematool" to create the necessary schema in the metastore on a startup if one doesn't exist.
The old method via using datanucleus property "METASTORE_AUTO_CREATE_ALL" is deprecated.

That is especially needed to add test cases for transactional tables - https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/Hive+Transactions

Once DRILL-5978 and DRILL-6195 are merged, it is necessary here to create test cases for partitioned and non-partitioned transnational tables.
