-----------------------------------
Summary: sql std auth - set authorization privileges for tables
when created from hive cli
Key: HIVE-7533
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-7533
Project: Hive
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Authorization, SQLStandardAuthorization
Reporter: Thejas M Nair
Assignee: Thejas M Nair
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.
