Hi all, As I am now exploring how Ranger works with Hive, I made some policies, but it seems that group policies are not enforced. Therefore, I was wondering how the Ranger plugin running on Hive was asserting the user's identity.
I am even more surprised by the fact that I do not have any problem with Ranger plugin working on HDFS, which is running on the exact same node. In parallel, I know that Know plugin, for example, runs in a totally different way, but as it seems that, as does HBase, Hive does not provide with any user mapping function, I thought the identity would be asserted on the node Hive Server is running on, as if the user was a Unix one. Do someone as an idea about how the user groups can be founded by Hive Ranger plugin ? Thanks in advance, Loïc Loïc CHANEL Engineering student at TELECOM Nancy Trainee at Worldline - Villeurbanne
