Sergio Peña commented on HIVE-18762:
------------------------------------
It will support the same values than ALTER DATABASE SET OWNER which I noticed
on the HiveParser.g that also supports user, group or role; but the
documentation on the wiki mentions only user or role. I will make sure to
update the wiki of both commands.
> Support ALTER TABLE SET OWNER command
