------------------------------------------
@Francis,
Thanks for your work and patience on this. Since, this makes user facing
changes in the interface, it will be great if you can add release notes for it
in the jira.

> These classes and their roles has become convoluted. HCatTableInfo should be
> an HCat abstraction of table and thus not have any job specific information
> and should not contain different information depending on usage. *JobInfo
> classes should contain job specific information (user provided, derived from
> metastore info, etc). Since *JobInfo contains such information it should be
> the object which is passed to HCatInputFormat.setInput and
> HCatInputFormat.setOutput. Also JobInfo should be renamed to InputJobInfo for
> consistency and clarity. Also there needs to be a way to pass implementation
> specific configuration information down to the actual storage driver.
