------------------------------------------
> Database should have creation time
> ----------------------------------
>
> Key: HIVE-21077
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-21077
> Project: Hive
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Standalone Metastore
> Reporter: Vihang Karajgaonkar
> Assignee: Vihang Karajgaonkar
> Priority: Major
>
> Currently, database do not have creation time like we have for tables and
> partitions.
> {noformat}
> // namespace for tables
> struct Database {
> 1: string name,
> 2: string description,
> 3: string locationUri,
> 4: map<string, string> parameters, // properties associated with the
> database
> 5: optional PrincipalPrivilegeSet privileges,
> 6: optional string ownerName,
> 7: optional PrincipalType ownerType,
> 8: optional string catalogName
> }
> {noformat}
> Currently, without creationTime there is no way to identify if the copy of
> Database which a client has is the same as the one no the server if the
> dbName is same. Without object ids creationTimeStamp is the only way
> currently to identify uniquely a instance of metastore object. It would be
> good to have Database creation time as well.
