Namit Jain commented on HIVE-78:
--------------------------------
I think, we should spend some time on finalizing the functionality before
implementing it - it is very difficult to change something once it is out, due
to all kinds of backward compatibility issues.
For the syntax, AS
wont it be simpler to add permissions to a role, and then assign roles to a
user.
GRANT WITH_GRANT,RC, ON '*' TO 'USER1','USER2' AS my_permission
ALTER GRANT my_permission add USER 'USER3'
Can I revoke some privileges from my_permissions ?
If yes, how is it different from doing the two things differently ?
CREATE ROLE my_permission AS GRANT WITH_GRANT,RC, ON '*' ;
GRANT my_permission to USER1, USER2;
later
GRANT my_permission to USER3;
