VoltTable[] results = null;
try {
     results = client.callProcedure("@SystemCatalog",
               "TABLES").getResults();
     System.out.println("Information about the database schema:");
     for (VoltTable node : results) System.out.println(node.toString());
}
catch (Exception e) {
     e.printStackTrace();
