Namespace/Database construct in Hive

Hi,

Is there an equivalent of MySQL "database" construct in Hive. Basically,
something like a namespace within which table names are unique but might be
the same as table names within a different namespace. Or is there just one
flat global namespace ?

Thanks,
Sanjit

Looks like this is going to be supported in 0.6:
