Description

Currently only a user can be a owner of hive table. It should be extended so that either user/role can be set a owner of a table.

With this support ownership of a table can be transferred to either user or role.

Should be able to run below commands and change the ownership

alter table tb1 set owner user user1;
alter table tb1 set owner role role1;
