> HCatalog CLI currently does not support the "STORED BY" token from HIVE,
> which is used to create non-native tables (for example in HBase). This
> feature will help users in creating HBase tables and then enable them to
> read/write to those tables using the HBase storage handler.
> In addition, the "CreateTableHook" during the post analysis phase (
> "postAnalyze" method ) checks for authorization to create table. This
> authorization would fail as there is no native table for tables created by
> "STORED BY" tokens. The "postAnalyze" method should first check if there
> exists a storage handler for the DDL task, if yes, then it should not call
> the "authorize" method. In future, this authorization process should be
> pushed to the storage handlers.
