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.)
