Questions about Hive Database/Schema support

Hive 0.6 has support for multiple databases/schemas. Is this feature
mature enough to be used in production? Are there any particular
features known to not work with databases (I know you cannot run
queries using multiple databases at the same time)? Currently, there
doesn't seem to be an easy way to move existing tables into a new
database from CLI but it should be possible to do this directly by
modifying the metastore right? Is there anything to watch out for?

Thanks,
Vijay
