-------------------------------------
Will you be able to also include a unit test for the patch ?
> When dropping external tables, Hive should not verify whether user has access
> to the data.

>
> 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.
