Any plans for supporting schemas (namespaces of tables)?

[Martin Weindel]

Hi,

are there any plans for supporting schemas in the sense of relational 
databases, i.e. namespaces of tables?

I'm asking, as I have a discussion in the Presto project for the 
proposed Kudu connector. (see https://github.com/prestodb/presto/pull/10388)

As Presto supports catalog > schema > table, I thought it a good idea to 
make use of these namespaces of tables also in the Kudu connector.

This happens by using a dot in the Kudu table name. E.g. the Kudu table 
name "mytable" is  mapped to kudu.default.mytable in Presto and a Kudu 
table named "myschema.mytable2" to kudu.myschema.mytable2. There is 
nothing in Kudu which prevents using table names with dots, so it does 
not seem to be a problem at least at the moment.

Can someone of the Kudu developer team can give me a hint, if you see 
any conflicts with the Kudu roadmap?

Thanks,

Martin Weindel
