Why does the database name for the Hive connector change to schema upon ingestion?

[ShilpaVernekar]

When ingesting metadata from Hive connector, the database parameter refers to the database name in Hive. Once data is ingested into OpenMetadata, the database becomes a schema, under a general database called default.

There’s no concept of a database in Hive, and it actually refers to schema. Database and schema are used interchangeably in Hive.

OpenMetadata has a hierarchy service(cluster).database.schema.table_name. In case, a particular service does not support a database name, then OpenMetadata uses “default” as the database name.
