Rui Li created HIVE-14238: ----------------------------- Summary: Ownership shouldn't be checked if external table location doesn't exist Key: HIVE-14238 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-14238 Project: Hive Issue Type: Bug Reporter: Rui Li Assignee: Rui Li
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. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
