He Yongqiang commented on HIVE-675: ----------------------------------- >>MetaStoreUtils.DEFAULT_DATABASE_NAME is sometimes replaced with >>currentDatabase and sometimes left empty (in DDLTask.java) why? When empty in DDLTask, it will use getCurrentDatabase() as the dbName inside Hive. > add database/scheme support Hive QL > ----------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-675 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-675 > Project: Hadoop Hive > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: Query Processor > Reporter: Prasad Chakka > Assignee: He Yongqiang > Attachments: hive-675-2009-9-7.patch, hive-675-2009-9-8.patch > > > Currently all Hive tables reside in single namespace (default). Hive should > support multiple namespaces (databases or schemas) such that users can create > tables in their specific namespaces. These name spaces can have different > warehouse directories (with a default naming scheme) and possibly different > properties. > There is already some support for this in metastore but Hive query parser > should have this feature as well. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
