Alan Gates created HIVE-18685: --------------------------------- Summary: Add catalogs to metastore Key: HIVE-18685 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-18685 Project: Hive Issue Type: New Feature Components: Metastore Affects Versions: 3.0.0 Reporter: Alan Gates Assignee: Alan Gates Attachments: HMS Catalog Design Doc.pdf
SQL supports two levels of namespaces, called in the spec catalogs and schemas (with schema being equivalent to Hive's database). I propose to add the upper level of catalog. The attached design doc covers the use cases, requirements, and brief discussion of how it will be implemented in a backwards compatible way. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
