             Summary: Newly created Iceberg tables are owned by the user of the 
CatalogD process
                 Key: IMPALA-11429
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IMPALA-11429
             Project: IMPALA
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Zoltán Borók-Nagy


Repro:
{noformat}
> impala-shell.sh -u johndoe
impala-shell> create table ice_t (i int) stored as iceberg;
impala-shell> describe formatted ice_t;
...
| Owner:                       | impala                                     |

The owner should be the user executing the query.

Unfortunately Iceberg doesn't allow us setting the owner of the table. It uses 
the system-wide property "user.name" to set the owner:
[https://github.com/apache/iceberg/blob/51a9702367e22aff635ae05f2a313a19c3ba2fb8/hive-metastore/src/main/java/org/apache/iceberg/hive/HiveTableOperations.java#L347]

We might need Iceberg-side modifications as well to specify the owner. 
Alternatively we could add an exter alter_table() RPC to change the owner.
