Description

For ALTER TABLE RENAME, currently Impala requires ALTER on the source table and CRATE on the destination database. This may pose a security risk as described in: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SENTRY-2264. The solution is to require ALL at the source table and CREATE at the destination database.
