Prasad Mujumdar commented on HIVE-4171:
---------------------------------------
[~thejas] my apologies for missing the ticke updates ..
Its certainly a good idea to store the current db at a common place. Though I
am bit skeptical of using HiveConf object for storing runtime states.
This could for example, create a backdoor to {{use <db>}} by executing {{set
hive.current.db = <db>}} which will bypass any authorization, audit hooks etc
for {{use <db>}}
Comments/Suggestions ?
> Current database in metastore.Hive is not consistent with SessionState
