Zoltan Haindrich commented on HIVE-21151: ----------------------------------------- I think the a solution candidate would be to introducing a TableRef object which would contain the catalog/database/table name infos...so that these half solutions could go away... so instead of passing around "Strings" about {{dbName, tableName}} ; a single TableRef could be passed; which could ensure that both the database/catalog name is present everywhere - and its the correct one; because it would only needed to be construct properly at some early stage. > Fix support of dot in quted identifiers > --------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-21151 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-21151 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Zoltan Haindrich > Priority: Major > > Dot should be allowed in quoted identifiers; but because there are some > methods which rely on splitting the "dbtable" string by the dot HIVE-16907 > have removed that option. > https://github.com/apache/hive/blob/dfd63d97902b359e1643e955a4d070ac983debd5/ql/src/java/org/apache/hadoop/hive/ql/exec/Utilities.java#L2180 -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
