Thejas M Nair created HIVE-7895: ----------------------------------- Summary: Storage based authorization should consider sticky bit for drop actions Key: HIVE-7895 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-7895 Project: Hive Issue Type: Bug Components: Authorization Reporter: Thejas M Nair Assignee: Thejas M Nair Attachments: HIVE-7895.1.patch
Storage based authorization provides access control for metadata by giving users permissions on metadata that are equivalent to the permission that user has on corresponding data. However, when checking the permissions to drop a metadata object such as database, table or partition, it does not check if the sticky bit is set on the parent dir of objects corresponding dir in hdfs. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
