## Hive Connector Changes

- Fix rare failure when reading `DECIMAL` values from ORC files. (#664)
- Add a hidden `$properties` table for each table that describes its Hive table properties. For example, a table named `example` will have an associated properties table named `example$properties`. (#268)
