> table creation should fail when user does not have permissions on db
> --------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HIVE-6093
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-6093
> Project: Hive
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Authorization, HCatalog, Metastore
> Reporter: Thiruvel Thirumoolan
> Assignee: Thiruvel Thirumoolan
> Priority: Minor
>
> Its possible to create a table under a database where the user does not have
> write permission. It can be done by specifying a LOCATION where the user has
> write access (say /tmp/foo). This should be restricted.
> HdfsAuthorizationProvider (which typically runs on client) checks the
> database directory during table creation. But
> StorageBasedAuthorizationProvider does not.
