-----------------------------------
Summary: SQL std auth - authorize create database
Key: HIVE-5969
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-5969
Project: Hive
Issue Type: Sub-task
Reporter: Thejas M Nair
Permission to create a database must be given to any user, with the following
caveats
- The user must have HDFS rights to create a directory in the Hive warehouse
directory, if no database location is specified;
- or the user must own the directory provided in the database location
specification
(in this case it is recommended but not required that the group of the
directory be
hive, so that the hive user has access to the data in the database);
- and if the database is owned by a role (rather than a user) the directory
must be
owned by the hive user.
