Todd Lipcon commented on HIVE-842: ---------------------------------- Hey Pradeep. Those changes seem reasonable. I'm not personally a fan of the "login user" concept in Hadoop security - it's static state, which prevents servers which may want to use multiple principals from doing so easily (eg if running a hive server with an embedded metastore, you may need a different principal for the two different pieces). But given that there is no "renewer" thread for non-loginuser keytab logins, it may be the only choice for now. > Authentication Infrastructure for Hive > -------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-842 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-842 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: Server Infrastructure > Reporter: Edward Capriolo > Assignee: Todd Lipcon > Attachments: hive-842.txt, HiveSecurityThoughts.pdf > > > This issue deals with the authentication (user name,password) infrastructure. > Not the authorization components that specify what a user should be able to > do. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
