Description

For Hive to replace a modern datawarehouse based on RDBMS, it must have support for keys, constraints, auto-increment values, surrogate keys and not null features etc. Many customers do not move their EDW to Hive due to these reasons as these have been challenging to maintain in Hive.

This must be implemented once https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-5317 for Updates, Deletes and Inserts are done in Hive. This should be next step for Hive enhancement to take it closer to a very wide mainstream adoption..
