Improve naming and README files for MetaStore upgrade scripts
-------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HIVE-2010
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-2010
Project: Hive
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Documentation, Metastore
Reporter: Carl Steinbach
Assignee: Carl Steinbach
Fix For: 0.7.0
The Hive metastore upgrade scripts currently use the naming convention
upgrade-X.Y.Z.<dbname>.sql, with the intention of indicating that this file
handles the upgrade to version X.Y.Z from the previous release. This has caused
confusion with users who wonder if upgrade script actually handles the upgrade
to X.Y.Z from all earlier versions of Hive.
I propose changing the naming convention to upgrade-A.B.C-to-X.Y.Z.<dbname>.sql
in order to clarify the intended usage of these scripts.
