Carl Steinbach commented on HIVE-1939:
--------------------------------------

@John: Yup, you're right. The problem is that HIVE-1636 modified
'SHOW TABLES IN <db>' to throw an error when db doesn't exist.
Previously in this situation the SHOW TABLES command just returned
an empty result set.

url_hook.q points the MetaStore to a new JDO URL and then runs
'SHOW TABLES'. In the past this caused the metastore to initialize
a new metastore schema, but without creating the 'default' database.
Since 'SHOW TABLES' wasn't checking for the existence of the
default database the command succeeded with an empty result set.

I think the correct fix for this problem is to make sure that the metastore
creates the 'default' table if it does not already exist.
