Nagarajan Chinnasamy commented on DRILL-5132:
---------------------------------------------
This feature will particularly be useful for data isolation / data protection
with *jdbc storage plugins* where drill-authenticated-credentials are not used
for jdbc connection authentication (like in MapR-DB). A jdbc storage has
hard-coded, shared credentials. Hence the the responsibility of data isolation
/ data protection lies with Views themselves.
> Context based dynamic parameterization of views

> Key: DRILL-5132
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DRILL-5132
> Project: Apache Drill
> Issue Type: Wish
> Components: Server
> Reporter: Nagarajan Chinnasamy
> Priority: Critical
> Labels: authentication, context, isolation, multi-tenancy
>
> Its known that Views in SQL cannot have dynamic parameters/variables. Please
> refer to [Justin
> Swanhart|http://stackoverflow.com/users/679236/justin-swanhart]'s response to
> [this SO
> question|http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2281890/can-i-create-view-with-parameter-in-mysql]
> in handling dynamic parameterization of views.
> [The PR #685|https://github.com/apache/drill/pull/685]
> [DRILL-5043|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DRILL-5043?filter=-2]
> originated based on this requirement so that we could build views that can
> dynamically filter records based on some dynamic values (like current
> tenant-id, user role etc.)
> *Since Drill's basic unit is a View... having such built-in support can bring
> in dynamism into the whole game.*
> This feature can be utilized for:
> * *Data Isolation in Shared Multi-Tenant environments* based on Custom Tenant
> Discriminator Column
> * *Data Protection in building Chained Views* with Custom Dynamic Filters
> I will post further design details in the comments....
