What replaces DatabaseMetaData in Hibernate 5?

In Hibernate 4, there was an org.hibernate.tool.hbm2ddl.DatabaseMetadata class that provided information about the underlying database.

I have some logic based on this, namely using the DatabaseMetadata class to provide some information about a table by returning a TableMetadata instance, like this:

databaseMetadata = new DatabaseMetadata(connection, dialect, null);
TableMetadata tableMetadata = databaseMetadata.getTableMetadata(TABLE_NAME, "", "", false);
if (tableMetadata == null) {
    tableMetadata = databaseMetadata.getTableMetadata(TABLE_NAME, databaseUsername, "", false);
}

However, in Hibernate 5, the DatabaseMetadata class is gone. What replaces it? Is there another way to obtain a TableMetadata instance?
