-----------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HCATALOG-141
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HCATALOG-141
Project: HCatalog
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 0.2
Reporter: Thejas M Nair
hcat user is the user hcat server is running as. The db dir got created using
that username instead of the user who invoked the command. But the 'drop
database' command still fails.
{code}
$ hadoop fs -ls /user/hortonth/dbdir/|grep testdb
Warning: $HADOOP_HOME is deprecated.
drwx------ - hcat supergroup 0 2011-10-24 20:58
/user/hortonth/dbdir/testdb.db
$ hcat -e 'drop database testdb;'
