Ramesh Mani updated RANGER-1195: -------------------------------- Summary: Ranger should allow for "Show Columns" and "describe" on tables where user access is limited to a subset of columns. (was: Ranger should allow for "select *" and "describe" on tables where user access is limited to a subset of columns.) > Ranger should allow for "Show Columns" and "describe" on tables where user > access is limited to a subset of columns. > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: RANGER-1195 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RANGER-1195 > Project: Ranger > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: plugins > Affects Versions: 0.5.1, 0.5.2, 0.6.0, 0.5.3, 0.6.1 > Reporter: Michael Young > Assignee: Ramesh Mani > Fix For: 0.7.0 > > Attachments: RANGER-1195.patch > > > If you create a Hive policy in Ranger which allows only a subset of columns > in a table, users are unable to "select * from tablename" or "describe > tablename". The user must know in advance to which columns they are allowed > access, but they can't use "describe" to see a list of columns they are > allowed. > When doing either select or describe in Hive, Ranger should dynamically > filter the columns the user is not allowed to see. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.15#6346)
