Tim Armstrong commented on IMPALA-462: -------------------------------------- RENAME was closed as wont fix on Hive because it would disrupt the ecosystem (I think I agree with this), so this would now only entail setting location. > ALTER DATABASE support to rename or move database > ------------------------------------------------- > > Key: IMPALA-462 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IMPALA-462 > Project: IMPALA > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: Catalog > Affects Versions: Impala 1.1, Impala 2.3.0 > Reporter: John Russell > Priority: Minor > Labels: ramp-up > Fix For: Product Backlog > > > I suggest adding an ALTER DATABASE statement, for completeness and future > expansion. > Currently, Hive has ALTER DATABASE that AFAICT only allows a SET clause to > change properties. > One logical syntax / use case for an Impala ALTER DATABASE would be: > ALTER DATABASE old_name RENAME TO new_name; > (OK to disallow for the DEFAULT database or the currently USEd database.) -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: issues-all-unsubscr...@impala.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: issues-all-h...@impala.apache.org
