                 Key: HIVE-2817
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-2817
             Project: Hive
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 0.7.1
            Reporter: Benyi Wang


You can drop any table if you use fully qualified name 'database.table' even 
you don't have any previlige.

{code}
hive> set hive.security.authorization.enabled=true;
hive> revoke all on default from user test_user;
hive> drop table abc;
hive> drop table abc;
Authorization failed:No privilege 'Drop' found for outputs { database:default, 
table:abc}. Use show grant to get more details.
hive> drop table default.abc;
OK
Time taken: 0.13 seconds
{code}

The table and the file in {{/usr/hive/warehouse}} or external file will be 
deleted. If you don't have hadoop access permission on {{/usr/hive/warehouse}} 
or external files, you will see a hadoop access error

{code}
