Hello Apache Sentry Community, Recently we made some changes to the security interface which may affect Apache Sentry. The major change is to move userIpAddress from HiveAuthzContext to HiveAuthenticationProvider. The main reason is to put the "getUserName" and "getUserIpAddress" together in HiveAuthenticationProvider.java. This request was initiated by Apache Ranger community.
Could you please kindly comment on HIVE-13360 if you do not agree? We can then change it back. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-13360 Best Pengcheng
