Ashish Thusoo commented on HIVE-78:
-----------------------------------
@Min
I agree with Edwards thought here. We have to foster a collaborative
environment and not be dismissive of each others ideas and approaches. Much of
the work in the community happens on a volunteer basis and whatever time anyone
puts on the project is a bonus and should be respected by all.
It does make sense to keep authentication separate from authorization because
in most environments there are already directories which deal with the former.
Creating yet another store for passwords just leads to an administration
nightmare as the account administrators have to create accounts for new users
at multiple places. So lets just focus on authorization and let the directory
infrastructure deal with authentication. Will look at your patch as well.
