--------------------------------------------
Summary: Ease the write permissions on external table during
create table operation
Key: HIVE-27525
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-27525
Project: Hive
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Standalone Metastore
Reporter: Sai Hemanth Gantasala
Assignee: Sai Hemanth Gantasala
During the creation of external tables with a specified location, the general
expectation is that the data is already present or the data might be externally
added to the location without involving HMS. So, it is really not required to
have read and write permissions on an external table during the creation time.
This enhancement can address security concerns where currently the users had to
be grant unnecessary write permissions on an external file location when the
table is only used for reading the data.
Update/delete operations would anyway require write permissions.
