> When renaming a table within the same DB, this operation causes 
> {{MetaStoreEventListener.onAlterTable()}} to fire but when changing DB name 
> for a table it causes {{MetaStoreEventListener.onDropTable()}} + 
> {{MetaStoreEventListener.onCreateTable()}}.
> The files from original table are moved to new table location.  
> This creates confusing semantics since any logic in {{onDropTable()}} doesn't 
> know about the larger context, i.e. that there will be a matching 
> {{onCreateTable()}}.
> In particular, this causes a problem for Acid tables since files moved from 
> old table use WriteIDs that are not meaningful with the context of new table.
> Current implementation is due to replication.  This should ideally be changed 
> to raise a "not supported" error for tables that are marked for replication.
