Write permission check while adding partition on an external table

[Mainak Ghosh <mg...@twitter.com>]

Hello,

Currently, when you are trying to add a partition to an external table it checks for write permission on partition location. Why is that required? Can we add the partition and check for write permission on the write path and fail the query? Is it something that already exists or an existing feature request?

Thanks for your help,
