Hyukjin Kwon resolved SPARK-15777. ---------------------------------- Resolution: Incomplete > Catalog federation > ------------------ > > Key: SPARK-15777 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-15777 > Project: Spark > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: SQL > Reporter: Reynold Xin > Priority: Major > Labels: bulk-closed > Attachments: SparkFederationDesign.pdf > > > This is a ticket to track progress to support federating multiple external > catalogs. This would require establishing an API (similar to the current > ExternalCatalog API) for getting information about external catalogs, and > ability to convert a table into a data source table. > As part of this, we would also need to be able to support more than a > two-level table identifier (database.table). At the very least we would need > a three level identifier for tables (catalog.database.table). A possibly > direction is to support arbitrary level hierarchical namespaces similar to > file systems. > Once we have this implemented, we can convert the current Hive catalog > implementation into an external catalog that is "mounted" into an internal > catalog. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: issues-unsubscr...@spark.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: issues-h...@spark.apache.org
