Hi, The column level security for Hive is being worked on ( https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SENTRY-74), that patch is being reviewed. For now the row and column level security can be manged via views. Note that the privileges on views are separate from the privileges on the base table. You can create a view with subset of columns and predicate for filtering rows, and grant access on that view to users without granting any access to the base table.
