Description
Index tables have been removed from Hive as of HIVE-18715.
However, in case users still have index tables defined in the metastore, we should keep the TableType.INDEX_TABLE enum around so that users can drop these tables. Without the enum defined Hive cannot do anything with them as it fails with IllegalArgumentException errors when trying to call TableType.valueOf() on INDEX_TABLE.
