Sankar Hariappan commented on HIVE-18748:
-----------------------------------------
Yes, Alter table is used to rename a table.
We seems to have TBL_ID field in APP.TBLS meta table which is generated by JDO.
This field is also primary key to this table. Need to see if we shall able to
re-use it instead of table names.
> Rename table should update the table names in NEXT_WRITE_ID and
> TXN_TO_WRITE_ID tables.

> Project: Hive
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Components: HiveServer2, Transactions
> Affects Versions: 3.0.0
> Reporter: Sankar Hariappan
> Assignee: Sankar Hariappan
> Priority: Major
> Labels: ACID, DDL
> Fix For: 3.0.0

>
> Per table write ID implementation (HIVE-18192) introduces couple of
> metatables such as NEXT_WRITE_ID and TXN_TO_WRITE_ID to manage write ids
> allocated per table.
> Now, when we rename any tables, it is necessary to update the corresponding
> table names in these table as well. Otherwise, ACID table operations won't
> work properly.
