rtrivedi12 opened a new pull request, #4572: URL: https://github.com/apache/hive/pull/4572
### What changes were proposed in this pull request? Exclude `DFS_URI` from output `HivePrivilegeObject` if the table is an External table. ### Why are the changes needed? To address security concerns where currently users had to be granted unnecessary write permissions on an external file location when the table is only used for reading the data. ### Does this PR introduce _any_ user-facing change? Yes, External table creation will be successful but Update/ delete operation will fail without write permissions on table location. ### Is the change a dependency upgrade? No ### How was this patch tested? mvn test -Dtest.output.overwrite=true -Dtest=TestMiniLlapLocalCliDriver -Dqfile=auth_create_ext_table_1.q -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
