----------------------------------------
Summary: Authorization checks for non existent file/directory
should not be recursive in Ranger Hive authorizer
Key: RANGER-1126
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RANGER-1126
Project: Ranger
Issue Type: Bug
Components: plugins
Affects Versions: 0.6.0, 0.5.0
Reporter: Madhan Neethiraj
When the file path specified in Hive statements like 'create external table'
does not exists, Ranger Hive authorizer checks for permissions in all child
objects of the given path's parent directory. This can be error prone and also
if the parent directory contains a large number of files/directories, this can
be an expensive.
This issue was fixed in Hive SQLStd authorizer in HIVE-10022. Ranger Hive
authorizer should be updated similarly.
