Edward Capriolo commented on HIVE-4144:
---------------------------------------
Navis. This is cool. I will review this soon. I did notice that there is
already a Dummy input format like yours that was added to hive a while back. I
think it was added to support queries only on meta-data. In any case we
probably do not need two dummy Input formats in the project.
> Add "select database()" command to show the current database
