-------------------------------

             Summary: when dropping external hive tables,hive metastore should 
not check the hdfs path write permission
                 Key: HIVE-12746
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-12746
             Project: Hive
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Metastore
    Affects Versions: 1.2.1
         Environment: hive1.2.1 hadoop2.6
            Reporter: wangfeng
            Priority: Critical


1 user1 has read permission on hdfs path '/user/www/seller_shop_info';
2 user1 create external table seller_shop_info on the hdfs path;
3 user1 drop the exernal table seller_shop_info

then problem occurred!

hive> drop table seller_shop_info;
FAILED: Execution Error, return code 1 from 
org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.DDLTask. MetaException(message:Table metadata 
not deleted since hdfs://argo/user/www/seller_shop_info is not writable by 
user1)

because when dropping external table,hive doesnot delete hdfs path,so hive 
metastore should not check the hdfs write permission
