Thejas M Nair commented on HIVE-9578: ------------------------------------- Without a check to see if db exists in HBaseStore.alterDatabase, it would end up acting the same as createDatabase. In this case, I think that additional check is worth it. AlterDatabase is not an action that is part of most queries, so I think the cost of the extra check is OK. > Add support for getDatabases and alterDatabase calls [hbase-metastore branch] > ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-9578 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-9578 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Sub-task > Components: Metastore > Reporter: Alan Gates > Assignee: Alan Gates > Attachments: HIVE-9578.patch > > > The initial patch only supporting getting a single database, add database, > and drop database. Support needs to be added for alter database, getting all > the databases, and getting database names by pattern. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
