             Summary: Remove HiveClient and setCurrentDatabase from 
HiveSessionCatalog
                 Key: SPARK-17250
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-17250
             Project: Spark
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: SQL
    Affects Versions: 2.1.0
            Reporter: Xiao Li


This is the first step to clean `HiveClient` from `HiveSessionState`. In the 
metastore interaction, we always set fully qualified names when 
accessing/operating a table. That means, we always specify the database. Thus, 
it is not necessary to use `HiveClient` to change the active database in Hive 
metastore. 

In `HiveSessionCatalog `, `setCurrentDatabase` is the only function that uses 
`HiveClient`. Thus, we can remove it after removing `setCurrentDatabase`
