> Project: HCatalog
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: security
> Affects Versions: 0.2
> Reporter: Alan Gates

> Based on a code inspection of HCatSemanticAnalyzer.java it looks as if
> HCatalog is not checking whether a user is authorized to do a describe
> database before doing it. HCatalog only allows describe table if the user
> has read permission on the table directory. It seems we should do the same
> in the describe database case.
