-----------------------------
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.
