Description

When using the HiveDriver mode in HudiHiveClient, Hive 2.x DDL operations like ALTER may fail. This is because Hive 2.x doesn't like `db`.`table_name` for operations.

There are two ways to fix this:
1. Precede all DDL statements by "USE <database>;"
2. Set the name of the database in the SessionState create for the Driver.
