For embedded mode, uri is just "jdbc:hive://". For standalone server, uri is "jdbc:hive://host:port/dbname" where host and port are determined by where the hive server is run. For example, "jdbc:hive://localhost:10000/default". Currently, the only dbname supported is "default".
to use custome dbnames you have to patch the connection object,
parse the connection string, pick the database name and issue a "USE
<db-name>" query as part of initializing the connection.
like :stmt.execute("use test");
