Anthony Hsu commented on HIVE-9021:
-----------------------------------

I don't think this feature is necessary. Hive has a [Storage-Based 
Authorization 
Model|https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/LanguageManual+Authorization#LanguageManualAuthorization-1StorageBasedAuthorizationintheMetastoreServer]
 that uses HDFS permissions for authorization. If a user does not want other 
users to be able to create tables in his database, he should set the 
permissions for his database's directory on HDFS accordingly (such as to 
rwxr-xr-x).

> Hive should not allow any user to create tables in other hive DB's that user 
> doesn't own
