https://community.cloudera.com/t5/Support-Questions/How-to-rename-a-hive-database/m-p/215969#M177879 <P>Hi @Sidi Mahmoud RHIL,</P><P>I searched for information about and found this:</P><P>Current Apache hive release doesn't support this feature. In the shared apache Hive Jira <A href="https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-4847">HIVE-4847</A>, you can see this is a new feature and the patch is available but it is yet to be merged and tagged to a particular release. We can expect this feature in any of the later releases.</P> Tue, 05 Dec 2017 21:24:35 GMT br_gilvan 2017-12-05T21:24:35Z
