Description

spark.catalog.listTables() and getTable

You may get an error on the table serde library:
java.lang.RuntimeException: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.amazon.emr.kinesis.hive.KinesisHiveInputFormat

Or if the database contains any table (e.g., index) with a table type that is not accessible by Spark SQL, it will fail the whole listTable API.
