Description

Currently the methods in the Hive class in the ql module look like this:

public void dropTable(String tableName) throws HiveException
public Table getTable(final String tableName) throws HiveException

I'd like to be able to specify the database for the tests in HIVE-142 so I propose adding:
public void dropTable(String dbName, String tableName) throws HiveException
public Table getTable(final String dbName, final String tableName) throws HiveException
