Try to upgrade the hive schema by the available sql script (mysql in your case).

mysql> use metastore_db
Database changed

mysql> SOURCE $HIVE_HOME/scripts/metastore/upgrade/mysql/hive-schema-0.12.0.mysql.sql;

mysql> CREATE USER 'dbuser'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'dbpassword'; 

mysql> GRANT all on *.* to 'dbuser'@localhost identified by 'dbpassword';

mysql> flush privileges;

Now requery your tables. It should show all the tables now.

mysql> show tables;
