----------------------------------------
@Shreepadma :
I've now updated the diff with a reference implementation of a
StorageBasedAuthorizationProvider, which is a port of HCatalog's
HdfsAuthorizationProvider.
> Adding authorization capability to the metastore

> In an environment where multiple clients access a single metastore, and we
> want to evolve hive security to a point where it's no longer simply
> preventing users from shooting their own foot, we need to be able to
> authorize metastore calls as well, instead of simply performing every
> metastore api call that's made.
