-----------------------------------

             Summary: Create privilege on table has no use case
                 Key: SENTRY-2308
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SENTRY-2308
             Project: Sentry
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Sentry
    Affects Versions: 2.1.0
            Reporter: Sergio Peña


Currently it is possible to grant CREATE on a table. However, there do not seem 
to be any SQL operations that require this privilege. 

For example, ALTER TABLE ADD PARTITION, requires ALTER and not CREATE. 

Here is another example that requires INSERT on the target table, not CREATE 
(or ALTER):

{noformat}
set hive.exec.dynamic.partition.mode=nonstrict;INSERT OVERWRITE TABLE 
config1_test_database1.aliens PARTITION (home_planet, diet) SELECT name, 
home_planet, diet FROM config1_test_database1.movie_stars WHERE home_planet IS 
NOT NULL AND diet IS NOT NULL;
{noformat}

If there is no use case for granting CREATE on a table, we should considering 
not allowing this operation.
