Ashutosh Chauhan commented on HIVE-11145:
-----------------------------------------
Patch LGTM +1
Is there another mode called "read only"?
We also need to update wiki to reflect that this feature is now gone and can be
substituted with sql std auth
> Remove OFFLINE and NO_DROP from tables and partitions

>
> Currently a table or partition can be marked no_drop or offline. This
> prevents users from dropping or reading (and dropping) the table or
> partition. This was built in 0.7 before SQL standard authorization was an
> option.
> This is an expensive feature as when a table is dropped every partition must
> be fetched and checked to make sure it can be dropped.
> This feature is also redundant now that real authorization is available in
> Hive.
> This feature should be removed.
