Not right now. There is no access control built into Hive at this time. owner information is there right now so that some external tool can use that information.

I noticed the table TBLS has the owner field and gets set to the username who created it. BL_ID | CREATE_TIME | DB_ID | LAST_ACCESS_TIME | OWNER | RETENTION | SD_ID | TBL_NAME Is it possible to do this? Basically I don't want someone else to do a "Drop table TABLE_NAME" Thanks in Advance, Royce Rollins
