Owen O'Malley commented on HIVE-6936:
-------------------------------------

My concern with removing the "table." prefix is that it becomes possible to 
clobber security settings. For example, creating a table with the 
"hive.security.authorization.manager" table property shouldn't allow the query 
to override the setting.

For a compromise, how about removing the table prefix, but we check to see if 
that key has a value in the configuration and won't override such a value. Does 
that make sense?

> Some advanced file formats need the table properties made available to them. 
> Additionally, it would be convenient to provide a unique id for fetch 
> operators and the complete list of directories.
