> Ease the write permissions on external table during create table operation

> Key: HIVE-27525
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-27525
> Project: Hive
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Standalone Metastore
> Reporter: Sai Hemanth Gantasala
> Assignee: Riju Trivedi
> Priority: Major
> Labels: pull-request-available
>
> During the creation of external tables with a specified location, the general
> expectation is that the data is already present or the data might be
> externally added to the location without involving HMS. So, it is really not
> required to have read and write permissions on an external table during the
> creation time.
> This enhancement can address security concerns where currently the users had
> to be granted unnecessary write permissions on an external file location when
> the table is only used for reading the data.
> Update/delete operations would anyway require write permissions.
