Alan Gates commented on HIVE-18755: ----------------------------------- {quote}Is it possible to keep the default catalog a strictly server side configuration {quote} Possible, but not desirable. I want to enable the case where the client wants to use a different catalog then the server is configured for. Consider the case of a user who has one metastore set up, but wants some clients to default to one catalog and one to another. By allowing the client to be configured to a default catalog we can support this. > Modifications to the metastore for catalogs > ------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-18755 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-18755 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Sub-task > Components: Metastore > Reporter: Alan Gates > Assignee: Alan Gates > Priority: Major > Labels: pull-request-available > > Step 1 of adding catalogs is to add support in the metastore. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
