---------------------------------------------
Would be good to fix this. [~colinma] will you be interested in picking this up?
> Sentry does not block Hive's cross-schema table renames

> Key: SENTRY-1209
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SENTRY-1209
> Project: Sentry
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Core, Hive Binding, Hive Plugin, Sentry
> Affects Versions: 1.5.1
> Environment: CDH 5.5.2
> Reporter: Ruslan Dautkhanov
> Priority: Critical
> Labels: security
>
> User Pete
> has read-write access to schema A
> has read-only access to schema B
> User Pete nevertheless was able to rename/move Hive table
> from schema A to schema B (where he has read-only access):
> {quote}
> use A;
> alter table table_a rename to B.table_a;
> {quote}
> Hive allows to use rename table syntax to move tables across schemas, not
> just rename.
> Sentry does not check security boundaries in this case.
