Hi @wecharyu Do you have a described hive ticket about it? I'm a bit confused with this ticket. Imho the HMS should check the permission even for external table drop. Let's imagine I have a customer external table. I want to drop the table, but it prevents it as I as a user do not have permission on the file system. Yes, it does not act as a delete operation on the file system, also does not do anything on FS but still does a permission check on something that virtually does not belong to the table to prevent use case damage. I do not think this ticket is not right, maybe there is a use case just it is a bit hard to imagine, where this could make any benefit. (Disadvantage could have) Could you please elaborate here and on the hive ticket? cc: @ayushtkn @abstractdog @SourabhBadhya @InvisibleProgrammer -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
