Prasad Chakka commented on HIVE-705:
------------------------------------
John, Why are pre, commit, rollback functions needed in MetaHook? Isn't it
enough just to drop table as a rollback for create, and do the drop table after
hive drop table? With the current definition the MetaHook implementation needs
to keep state around which Hive itself doesn't do.
Also alter table on external tables should be allowed since underlying storage
format for external tables is not managed by Hive itself. In such cases alter
table is just changing metadata in side Hive.
