---------------------------------
Summary: Remove OFFLINE and NO_DROP from tables and partitions
Key: HIVE-11145
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-11145
Project: Hive
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Metastore, SQL
Affects Versions: hbase-metastore-branch
Reporter: Alan Gates
Assignee: Alan Gates
Fix For: hbase-metastore-branch
Currently a table or partition can be marked no_drop or offline. This prevents
users from dropping or reading (and dropping) the table or partition. This was
built in 0.7 before SQL standard authorization was an option.
This is an expensive feature as when a table is dropped every partition must be
fetched and checked to make sure it can be dropped.
This feature is also redundant now that real authorization is available in Hive.
This feature should be removed.
