Thiruvel Thirumoolan created HIVE-6093:
------------------------------------------
Summary: 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
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.
