Description

This subtask tracks the work to build out basic read-only support for HDFS tables and views in the LocalCatalog implementation:

• loading table schemas
• loading partitions
• loading file information from HDFS

This work will be broken up into a number of patches to keep each piece reviewable. Once this subtask is complete we should be able to plan most simple read-only queries.
