Alan Gates commented on HIVE-18685: ----------------------------------- {quote}Do you envision catalog having some kind of properties (outside of security model) that can be shared by all databases within a catalog? {quote} Not at the moment, but we might think of others in the future. > Add catalogs to metastore > ------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-18685 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-18685 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: Metastore > Affects Versions: 3.0.0 > Reporter: Alan Gates > Assignee: Alan Gates > Priority: Major > Attachments: HMS Catalog Design Doc.pdf > > > SQL supports two levels of namespaces, called in the spec catalogs and > schemas (with schema being equivalent to Hive's database). I propose to add > the upper level of catalog. The attached design doc covers the use cases, > requirements, and brief discussion of how it will be implemented in a > backwards compatible way. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
