----------------------------------
Summary: Remove the filtering around the tableExists
Key: HIVE-28447
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-28447
Project: Hive
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Standalone Metastore
Reporter: Zhihua Deng
The tableExists in HiveMetaStoreClient is to check whether a table exists, in
current implementation an authorization filtering is performed on both the
client and server side, this API would return false even though there is such
an table in HMS due to this filter, which is against the role of this method.
As this method doesn't breach any internal details of the table, so it would be
better to remove the filtering, and make it accept the pattern based tableName
or databaseName.
