> Its possible to create a table under a database where the user does not have
> write permission. It can be done by specifying a LOCATION where the user has
> write access (say /tmp/foo). This should be restricted.
> HdfsAuthorizationProvider (which typically runs on client) checks the
> database directory during table creation. But
> StorageBasedAuthorizationProvider does not.
