Sasha, The jira https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-18755 has no description on what's the motivation of having catalog and how it works.
Is catalog similar to namespace, so all databases in a catalog can be managed by one entity? Do you know any description that would help us understand how it work other than read the hive code?
