--------------------------------

Driver:
      //do the authorization check
385         if (HiveConf.getBoolVar(conf,
386                   HiveConf.ConfVars.HIVE_AUTHORIZATION_ENABLED)) {
387                           boolean pass = doAuthorization(sem);
388                                   if (!pass) {
389                                             console.printError("Authrizatio\
n failed (not enough privileges found t?
o run the query.).");
390             return (400);
391                     }
392                           }


Can we print the reason which privilege was missing ?



Can we optimize the scenario - we are checking for all partitions one-by-one
both for inputs and outputs ? What if the user/group/role has the table
privilege - we dont need to go over all the partitions one by one.
We can even do this in a follow-up



Why do we need the change in QueryPlan ?

showGrants: should the output have a schema ? Going forwad, it will
be easier for JDBC clients to parse.

No need to change WriteEntity etc. ?

user cannot be made a reserved word - ~20 tables have a column called 'user'
in facebook - please check 'role' and 'option'.

SemanticAnalyzer: 3511 not needed


What happens to replication of roles - needs to be done


Where are the privileges copied for a newly created partition ?
