Carl Steinbach commented on HIVE-2441:
--------------------------------------
@Ashutosh: automatic schema evolution is not safe for production use since it
can (and has!) resulted in corrupted schemas. Executing all of the DDL up front
allows the metastore admin to lock down the schema by revoking
alter/create/drop privileges for users.
> Metastore upgrade scripts for schema change introduced in HIVE-2215
