Description

Currently table factory is auto discovered based on table properties. However, for HiveTableFactory, the factory class for Hive tables, is specifically returned from HiveCatalog. Since we allow both mechanisms, we need to integrate the two so that they work seamlessly.

Please refer to the design doc for details. Some further design thoughts are necessary, however.
