Description

org.apache.hive.jdbc.HiveResultSetMetaData.isSigned throws java.sql.SQLException: Method not supported, causing problems for many use-cases involving the Hive JDBC client. Here are a few user reports of this issue:

• https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SQOOP-2899
• https://stackoverflow.com/questions/34067686/spark-1-5-1-not-working-with-hive-jdbc-1-2-0
• https://stackoverflow.com/questions/32195946/method-not-supported-in-spark

Similar to HIVE-3015, I think that this should be fixed in a future release so that JDBC clients don't encounter this error.
