[jira] [Created] (DRILL-3215) Describe table from hive storage does not connect to "default" database

Krystal created DRILL-3215:
------------------------------

             Summary: Describe table from hive storage does not connect to "default" database
                 Key: DRILL-3215
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DRILL-3215
             Project: Apache Drill
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Storage - Hive
    Affects Versions: 1.0.0
            Reporter: Krystal
            Assignee: Venki Korukanti


>From sqlline, I connect to a hive storage without specifying a database and issued a "describe <table>" command.  Drill returned an empty result.

0: jdbc:drill:schema=dfs.root> use hive;
+-------+-----------------------------------+
|  ok   |              summary              |
+-------+-----------------------------------+
| true  | Default schema changed to [hive]  |
+-------+-----------------------------------+
1 row selected (0.149 seconds)
0: jdbc:drill:schema=dfs.root> show tables;
+---------------+------------------+
| TABLE_SCHEMA  |    TABLE_NAME    |
+---------------+------------------+
| hive.default  | timestamp_table  |
| hive.default  | varchar_table    |
| hive.default  | voter_hive       |
| hive.default  | voter_hive_p     |
+---------------+------------------+

0: jdbc:drill:schema=dfs.root> describe voter_hive;
+--+
|  |
+--+
+--+

I need to specify the database in the describe command for it to work:
0: jdbc:drill:schema=dfs.root> describe `hive.default`.voter_hive;
+----------------+------------+--------------+
|  COLUMN_NAME   | DATA_TYPE  | IS_NULLABLE  |
+----------------+------------+--------------+
| voter_id       | SMALLINT   | YES          |
| name           | VARCHAR    | YES          |
| age            | TINYINT    | YES          |
| registration   | VARCHAR    | YES          |
| contributions  | DECIMAL    | YES          |
| voterzone      | INTEGER    | YES          |
| create_time    | TIMESTAMP  | YES          |
+----------------+------------+--------------+
