Description

The jdbc table types supported by hive server2 are not the documented typical types [1] in jdbc, they are hive specific types (MANAGED_TABLE, EXTERNAL_TABLE, VIRTUAL_VIEW).

HIVE-4573 added support for the jdbc documented typical types, but the HS2 default configuration is to return the hive types

The default configuration should result in the expected jdbc typical behavior.
