             Summary: Creating Table Over HBase Should not Require HBase Create 
Permissions if Table Exists
                 Key: HIVE-13103
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-13103
             Project: Hive
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 1.1.0
            Reporter: Alan Jackoway
            Priority: Minor


Today a user who only has READ permissions on HBase tried to create a hive 
table over an existing HBase table. The result was:
{code}
Error while processing statement: FAILED: Execution Error, return code 1 from 
org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.DDLTask. 
MetaException(message:org.apache.hadoop.hbase.security.AccessDeniedException: 
org.apache.hadoop.hbase.security.AccessDeniedException: Insufficient 
permissions (user=user_name, scope=default:table_name, 
params=[table=default:table_name],action=CREATE) at ...
{code}

If the table exists in HBase already, I think that READ should be good enough 
to create the table in Hive.
