Sambavi Muthukrishnan commented on HIVE-3016:
---------------------------------------------
Carl: we are only trying to prevent accidental use, not malicious intent. All
users will have to be granted permissions to all data still, so the auth system
doesnt look like it will help. Example: user A will have access to data in
database db1 as well as db2. When in the context of db1, we don't want them to
use data from db2. When in the context of db2, they can indeed use data from
db2. The goal is to contain all access when in the context of a database to
just data in that database.
> Allow disabling foreign table access (cross database) using hiveconf

> Disallow cross database access to tables using Y.T syntax under a specific
> configuration in HiveConf.
> i.e. when hive.error.on.crossdatabaseaccess is set to true, return an error
> when Y.T syntax is used to access tables and Y is not the current database.
> This can be set both via the client and in hive-site.xml, and will default to
> false.
