Thejas M Nair commented on HIVE-15579:
--------------------------------------
Replace the comment " //hack to support HADOOP_PROXY_USER" with "// If
HADOOP_PROXY_USER is set in env or property, then need to create metastore
client that proxies as that user"
If an exception is thrown during that process, we should thrown an exception
and not continue further.
ie - throw new MetaException("Error while setting delegation token for " +
proxyUser, e);
> Support HADOOP_PROXY_USER for secure impersonation in hive metastore client
