Carl Steinbach commented on HIVE-1073:
--------------------------------------
Hi [~freepeter], thanks for writing up these notes!
bq. To track the view dependency, I will add a new class MTableDependency (name
TBD) which contains srcTbl and dstTbl.
Since only views can have dependencies on other tables/views it probably makes
sense to change the name to MViewDependency, and replace srcTbl with srcView.

> Key: HIVE-1073
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-1073
> Project: Hive
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Metastore, Views
> Affects Versions: 0.6.0
> Reporter: John Sichi
> Assignee: Wenlei Xie
>
> Add a generic mechanism for recording the fact that one object depends on
> another. First use case (to be implemented as part of this task) would be
> views depending on tables or other views, but in the future we can also use
> this for views depending on persistent functions, functions depending on
> other functions, etc.
> This involves metastore modeling, QL analysis for deriving and recording the
> dependencies (Ashish says something may already be available from the lineage
> work), and CLI support for browsing dependencies.
