             Summary: Renaming table changes table location scheme/authority
                 Key: HIVE-3702
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-3702
             Project: Hive
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Metastore
    Affects Versions: 0.9.0
            Reporter: Kevin Wilfong
            Assignee: Kevin Wilfong


Renaming a table changes the location of the table to the default location of 
the database, followed by the table name.  This means that if the default 
location of the database uses a different scheme/authority, an exception will 
get thrown attempting to move the data.

Instead, the table's location should be made the default location of the 
database followed by the table name, but using the original location's scheme 
and authority.

This only applies for managed tables, and there is already a check to ensure 
the new location doesn't already exist.

This is analogous to what was done for partitions in HIVE-2875
