Description
As SQL standard authorization mode is not available from hive-cli, the default permissions on table for the table owner are not being set, when the table is created from hive-cli.
It should be possible set the sql standards based authorization as the authorizer for hive-cli, which would update the configuration appropriately.
hive-cli data access is actually controlled by hdfs, not the authorization policy. As a result, using sql std auth from hive-cli for authorization would lead to a false sense of security. To avoid this, hive-cli users will have to keep the authorization disabled on hive-cli (in case of sql std auth). But this would affect only authorization checks, not configuration updates by the authorizer.
