Edward Capriolo commented on HIVE-78:
-------------------------------------
My last comment is a blocker in my mind. How can we implement complex access
controls at the Hive level when we have basic file ownership issues at the file
level? Daemons like HiveService and HiveWebInterface will have to run as
supergroup or a hive group? How is this this effect the CLI that will run as
the individual user?
These are not as much Hive issues as they are environment/setup issues, but I
do not want to assume my environment is the target environment. Will we be
assuming users are members of a 'hive' posix group or that all the files in the
warehouse are owned by user 'Hive' group 'Hive'? I wanted to get others opinion
on this.
