Pull request overview

This PR refactors Hive Metastore “get table”-related logic by moving several table retrieval/listing flows out of HMSHandler into a dedicated GetTableHandler request handler, aligning with the existing request-handler architecture used elsewhere in the standalone metastore server.

Changes:

• Introduces GetTableHandler to centralize implementations for get_table_req, get_table_core, get_table_objects_by_name_req, and various table-name listing methods.
• Updates HMSHandler to delegate these operations to GetTableHandler and removes now-duplicated helper logic.
• Improves an UnsupportedOperationException message in GetPartitionsHandler to include the unsupported request object.

• In get_table_req, exceptions from GetTableHandler.getTable(...) aren't captured/passed to endFunction (the Exception argument is always null). This can hide failures from end-function listeners/metrics and produces misleading audit/telemetry. Capture the exception in a local Exception ex (as other HMSHandler methods do), rethrow it, and pass ex to endFunction.

  @Override
  public List<TableMeta> get_table_meta(String dbnames, String tblNames, List<String> tblTypes)
      throws MetaException, NoSuchObjectException {
    List<TableMeta> t = null;
    String[] parsedDbName = parseDbName(dbnames, conf);
    startTableFunction("get_table_metas", parsedDbName[CAT_NAME], parsedDbName[DB_NAME], tblNames);
    Exception ex = null;
