Karan Mehta created PHOENIX-4431:
------------------------------------
Summary: Remove the need for users to have CREATE access on a
namespace while creating view indexes
Key: PHOENIX-4431
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PHOENIX-4431
Project: Phoenix
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Karan Mehta
Phoenix allows users to create views and view indexes on top of any table. View
creation writes rows to SYSTEM.CATALOG and doesn't make changes at HBase level.
Hence it is handled by PHOENIX-4198. Users can create many view indexes,
however they all map to the same physical HBase table.
However, for view indexes, two cases come up.
1. Base table is multitenant --> This case is easy since physical view index
table is automatically created along with base table. If the user has
permission to create a table, then it automatically works for view index tables.
2. Base table is *not* multitenant --> In this case, the code tries to create
the physical table whenever the first view index statement is encountered. If a
user doesn't have CREATE permission on the namespace, the command fails and no
data is added to index.
We need to intercept such requests (case 2) and allow user to automatically
create the table even without CREATE permission. The solution for this can be
similar to PHOENIX-4198.
FYI.
