Tom Kiefer commented on HIVE-9020:
----------------------------------
[~cwsteinbach], can it (or its equivalent, if the underlying code has otherwise
changed) be?
This appears to still be a valid and problematic issue.
> When dropping external tables, Hive should not verify whether user has access
> to the data.

> When dropping tables, hive verifies whether the user has access to the data
> on hdfs. It fails, if user doesn't have access. It makes sense for internal
> tables since the data has to be deleted when dropping internal tables but for
> external tables, Hive should not check for data access.
