----------------------------
    Affects Version/s: 0.13.1
               Status: Patch Available  (was: Open)

Hive now doesn't verify whether the user has access to the data while dropping an external table. It also checks now whether the user is the owner of the table before dropping it.

> 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.
