Alan Gates commented on HIVE-6460:
----------------------------------
Thanks for the review. I'll remove the overlooked debugging System.out.
bq. you need Owner privilege to execute compaction; but need no privileges to
view compactions. This is what you intended?
It is what I intended, though I'm open to feedback that this isn't right. My
thinking was that only owners (and admins) should be able to kick off
compactions, but there isn't harm in seeing what compactions are going on in
the system. I assume in general it will be admins that will use show
compactions to determine what the system is auto compacting at any given time.
Also, the other show commands didn't require any authorization so I assumed
this one should not either. If people think this doesn't make sense we can
file a follow on bug to change the permissions on show compactions.
> Need new "show" functionality for transactions

> With the addition of transactions and compactions for delta files some new
> "show" commands are required.
> * "show transactions" to show currently open or aborted transactions
> * "show compactions" to show currently waiting or running compactions
> * "show locks" needs to work with the new db style of locks as well.
