Sergey Shelukhin commented on HIVE-17832:
-----------------------------------------
Hmm, sure.
As for the embedded metastore, it implies that the user is the admin because
they have full control over metastore (and direct access to the database).
But yeah, I guess it's similar to strict check parameters and we should allow
users to shoot themselves in the foot :P
