---------------------------------
Summary: Create dedicated objects for DB and Table names
Key: HIVE-19769
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-19769
Project: Hive
Issue Type: Sub-task
Components: storage-api
Affects Versions: 3.0.0
Reporter: Alan Gates
Assignee: Alan Gates
Currently table names are always strings. Sometimes that string is just
tablename, sometimes it is dbname.tablename. Sometimes the code expects one or
the other, sometimes it handles either. This is burdensome for developers and
error prone. With the addition of catalog to the hierarchy, this becomes even
worse.
I propose to add two objects, DatabaseName and TableName. These will track
full names of each object. They will handle inserting default catalog and
database names when those are not provided. They will handle the conversions
to and from strings.
These will need to be added to storage-api because ValidTxnList will use it.
