[jira] [Commented] (HIVE-9020) When dropping external tables, Hive should not verify whether user has access to the data.

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-9020?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14329397#comment-14329397 ] 

Anthony Hsu commented on HIVE-9020:
-----------------------------------

Patch looks fine to me, apart from some formatting issues (indentation and spaces around {{&&}}). I agree with Thejas that we should add a unit test for this.

> 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.
