HTTP?

> Key: HIVE-4752
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-4752
> Project: Hive
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: HiveServer2
> Affects Versions: 0.13.0
> Reporter: Thejas M Nair
> Assignee: Vaibhav Gumashta
>
> Hiveserver2 acts as service on the cluster for external applications. One way
> to implement access control to services on a hadoop cluster to have a gateway
> server authorizes service requests before forwarding them to the server. The
> [knox project | http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/knox] has taken this
> approach to simplify cluster security management.
> Other services on hadoop cluster such as webhdfs and webhcat already use
> HTTP. Having hiveserver2 also support thrift over http transport will enable
> securing hiveserver2 as well using the same approach.
