Resolves #442
Description
As of 1.6.0, we added logic to determine Streaming Tables from normal Tables using describe extended if the type isn't returned. There's no reason to do this on hive, which also unfortunately does not return the type when you ask it to show tables. This PR says that if an object was returned by show tables, and the database (catalog) is none or hive_metastore, return the type table without calling describe extended.
