Michael Young created RANGER-1195:
-------------------------------------
Summary: Ranger should allow for "select *" 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: 0.6.1, 0.5.3, 0.6.0, 0.5.2, 0.5.1
Reporter: Michael Young
Fix For: 0.7.0
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.
