Alan Gates commented on HIVE-21630:
-----------------------------------
A class for table name already exists:
storage-api/src/org/apache/hadoop/hive/common/TableName.java
You should use that rather than create a new one.
> Refactor database object reference access
> -----------------------------------------
>
> Key: HIVE-21630
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-21630
> Project: Hive
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: David Lavati
> Assignee: David Lavati
> Priority: Major
> Labels: refactor
>
> There are many places in which "
> {databasename}
> .
> {tablename}
> " is passed as a single string; there are some places where the they travel
> as 2 separate arguments or as a {{String[]}}.
> Idea would be to introduce a simple immutable class with 2 fields ; and pass
> these informations together. Making this better is required if we would want
> to enable dot in tablenames: HIVE-16907, HIVE-21151
> The refactor requires large rework especially in the ql module: this ticket
> serves as an umbrella for these steps.
