Andrew Purtell commented on HBASE-6188:
---------------------------------------
bq. Should we allow users with "C" to perform DDL?
That makes sense. CREATE permissions allow DDL but only ADMIN permission can do
things like force flush, force split, etc.
> Remove the concept of table owner

> The table owner concept was a design simplification in the initial drop.
> First, the design changes under review means only a user with GLOBAL CREATE
> permission can create a table, which will probably be an administrator.
> Then, granting implicit permissions may lead to oversights and it adds
> unnecessary conditionals to our code. So instead the administrator with
> GLOBAL CREATE permission should make the appropriate grants at table create
> time.
