Hi,
Is there any Databricks REST API to directly access Hive Metastore tables (like list of tables, schemas, columns) without using Unity Catalog or SQL Warehouse?
I’m specifically looking to fetch metadata from hive_metastore.
Thanks.

Hi @Ninad-Mulik ,
As far as I know, there’s no Databricks REST API to directly access Hive Metastore metadata without using Unity Catalog or SQL Warehouses. The legacy Hive Metastore only supports SQL-based queries. REST APIs for metadata access are only available through Unity Catalog.
