> So, I am writing a general spark api to use a Hive Metastore.
> In case I want to work with temporary tables, I optionally request the client to provide a database ("default" if not provided).
> The problem is, that if I register a temp table as "default.some_table", the table is going to be named exactly "default.some_table" and no such table exceptions arise when trying to access such tables from sqlContext.table() or sqlContext.isCache().
> Workaround is to not provide default keyword but it is proving some unnecessary logic: Check if a table is temporary, and if so, not prepend the database name
> Any chance this could be fixed to allow storing temporary tables in some database? or ignore it at all when trying to access it?
