yep it can can happen in any server hosting a database or schema. I believe you will need to rename the database directory underr hive warehouse ditectory <DBNAME>.db.
Then you can hack Hive metasttore database. Mine is on SAP ASE. Certain tables like DBS etc in metastoreDB need to be changed. I cannot fremember on top of my head. Best to basckup database before hacking it and do it out of business hours. That is an approch. I am sure there are better ways.
