Yan commented on RANGER-768:
----------------------------
I created a subtask for the first phase of this project:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RANGER-1247. As discussed, the initial
phase does not have the "resource sync" functionality which looks more complex
and will need more in-depth thoughts on design and implementation.
Sorry for the extended delay in moving this jira forward. I have been focusing
on internal releases.

> Currently there is no Ranger processing of Hive table meta store events that
> could result in privilege modifications. One example is that when a table is
> renamed by a Hive Server 2 client (the "beeline"), no proper privilege
> adjustments in Ranger are made to allow/deny previously allowed/denied users
> the same privileges as before. In addition, more advanced features, such as
> granting/denying similar accesses to Hive's HDFS data to users that have (or
> do not have) privileges in the Hive, would require that detailed metadata of
> the Hive table, the storage info to be specific, be available to Ranger in
> order to make the corresponding HDFS data accessible to the Hive users
> directly.
> This plugin will depend upon the existing Ranger Hive plugin, so it shares
> the same "service" name as the associated Ranger Hive service deployed, and
> it will be "co-enabled" with the existing Ranger Hive plugin.
> Design doc will come soon.
