Sai Hemanth Gantasala reassigned HIVE-25695:
--------------------------------------------
> Make spark views authorization in hive configurable.
> ----------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HIVE-25695
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-25695
> Project: Hive
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: HiveServer2
> Reporter: Sai Hemanth Gantasala
> Assignee: Sai Hemanth Gantasala
> Priority: Major
>
> HIVE-24026 introduced an authorization model where views created from
> external sources like spark are not authorized at create time, but when a
> user does select on the view. We need to make this authorization
> configurable.
> This Jira introduces a new config to make this auth model configurable.
>
> {code:java}
> hive.security.authorization.enabled.on.spark.views=true {code}
> This config is turned on by default. If the users wish to turn off this
> config, then they can set this config to false, which means that during the
> select query, the underlying tables for that view will not be authorized.
>
> The reason for making this auth model configurable is because there can be a
> use-case where a user is running workload of create/alter/select views
> without HIVE-24026 (with ranger/sentry policies in place where user have
> select permissions only on view but not on underlying tables) and when user
> upgrades to HIVE-24026, the admin will have to configure ranger/sentry
> policies on all the underlying tables for required users. By simply turning
> off this config, the user can do workload operations but at the cost of the
> security hole for not authorizing the underlying tables.
