Arjun Mishra commented on SENTRY-2308:
--------------------------------------
I think to run create and show indexes we need to have create on table. So we
should leave the privilege
> Create privilege on table has no use case

> Key: SENTRY-2308
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SENTRY-2308
> Project: Sentry
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Sentry
> Affects Versions: 2.1.0
> Reporter: Sergio Peña
> Assignee: Sergio Peña
> Priority: Major
>
> Currently it is possible to grant CREATE on a table. However, there do not
> seem to be any SQL operations that require this privilege.
> For example, ALTER TABLE ADD PARTITION, requires ALTER and not CREATE.
> Here is another example that requires INSERT on the target table, not CREATE
> (or ALTER):
> {noformat}
> set hive.exec.dynamic.partition.mode=nonstrict;INSERT OVERWRITE TABLE
> config1_test_database1.aliens PARTITION (home_planet, diet) SELECT name,
> home_planet, diet FROM config1_test_database1.movie_stars WHERE home_planet
> IS NOT NULL AND diet IS NOT NULL;
> {noformat}
> If there is no use case for granting CREATE on a table, we should considering
> not allowing this operation.
