Jason Altekruse commented on DRILL-3624:
----------------------------------------
He wants to avoid using fully qualified schema names everywhere. This is
possible whenever you have a session, like on the command line or in a custom
JDBC application. As far as I know the web UI starts up a session for each
query.
This feature should fit reasonably into one of our new features, Web UI
security, which we are trying to get into the next release. Up until this point
we have given unlimited permissions through the Web UI, and there was no
tracking of which user of the Web UI submitted a particular query. This feature
fits naturally into the new model we are trying to create where a particular
user signs into the web interface with a view of a subset of the system they
have permissions to see, their own query profiles, the workspaces that they
have permissions to query.
I just confirmed with [~venki387] who is working on this feature that this is
improvement likely going to be included with his work. If it is not, I will
pick it up after the security portion is finished to make sure that the drill
session persists across different queries issued inside of a single web UI
session.

> Priority: Minor
>
> it would be advantageous to be able to select a schema ("use") in the web ui,
> so that the information does not always have to be specified in each query.
> this could be realized e.g. through a drop down where the user selects the
> schema from the list of available schemas. the ui should store this
> information until a different schema is selected.
