Anant Nag created HIVE-9020: ------------------------------- Summary: When dropping external tables, Hive should not verify whether user has access to the data. Key: HIVE-9020 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-9020 Project: Hive Issue Type: Bug Reporter: Anant Nag
When dropping tables, hive verifies whether the user has access to the data on hdfs. It fails, if user doesn't have access. It makes sense for internal tables since the data has to be deleted when dropping internal tables but for external tables, Hive should not check for data access. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
