Otherwise, every time a table is created or deleted, the superuser "hive" would have to be used. A cluster can have hundreds of thousands of tables or even more. Every time a table is created or deleted, one has to contact the Hive superuser. The offline SQL scripts all contain operations for creating and deleting tables. On the YARN queue, it is mapped through the user name and the queue. This ensures that when running the offline SQL, there won't be a situation where the creation and deletion of tables are switched to be executed by the Hive superuser, which is not a reasonable approach. Especially, when creating tables, there will be expressions like "create table tbl_name as select". If other users are not allowed to create tables, then the entire cluster will have to rely solely on the "hive" superuser. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
