> When creating external table with SQL authorization, we require RWX
> permission + ownership of the table location. If the location doesn't exist,
> we check on parent dir (recursively), which means we require the user owns
> everything under parent dir. I think this is not necessary - we don't have to
> check ownership of parent dir, or we just check non-recursively.
