Description

There are many places in which "

{databasename}

.

{tablename}

" is passed as a single string; there are some places where the they travel as 2 separate arguments or as a String[].

Idea would be to introduce a simple immutable class with 2 fields ; and pass these informations together. Making this better is required if we would want to enable dot in tablenames: HIVE-16907, HIVE-21151

The refactor requires large rework especially in the ql module: this ticket serves as an umbrella for these steps.
