             Summary: Import should create a new WriteEntity for the new table 
it's creating to mimic CREATETABLE behaviour
                 Key: HIVE-12630
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-12630
             Project: Hive
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Authorization, Import/Export
    Affects Versions: 1.2.0, 1.3.0, 2.0.0, 2.1.0
            Reporter: Sushanth Sowmyan
            Assignee: Sushanth Sowmyan


CREATE-TABLE creates a new WriteEntity for the new table being created, whereas 
IMPORT does not mimic that behaviour.

While SQLStandardAuth itself does not care about this difference, external 
Authorizers, as with Ranger can and do make a distinction on this, and can have 
policies set up on patterns for objects that do not yet exist. Thus, we must 
emit a WriteEntity for the yet-to-be-created table as well.
