Description

Disallow cross database access to tables using Y.T syntax under a specific configuration in HiveConf.
i.e. when hive.error.on.crossdatabaseaccess is set to true, return an error when Y.T syntax is used to access tables and Y is not the current database. This can be set both via the client and in hive-site.xml, and will default to false.
