Devaraj Das commented on HIVE-78: --------------------------------- BTW, was any thought put in to implement the authorization checks in the ObjectStore? In the model where a MetaStore server is deployed separately, applications (map/reduce tasks for example), can make programmatic calls to the MetaStore to, for example, drop random tables/partitions, and they will pass.. Just wondering whether this usecase was considered. > Authorization infrastructure for Hive > ------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-78 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-78 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: Metastore, Query Processor, Security, Server > Infrastructure > Reporter: Ashish Thusoo > Assignee: He Yongqiang > Fix For: 0.7.0 > > Attachments: HIVE-78.1.nothrift.patch, HIVE-78.1.thrift.patch, > HIVE-78.10.no_thrift.patch, HIVE-78.11.patch, HIVE-78.12.2.patch, > HIVE-78.12.3.patch, HIVE-78.12.4.patch, HIVE-78.12.5.patch, HIVE-78.12.patch, > HIVE-78.2.nothrift.patch, HIVE-78.2.thrift.patch, HIVE-78.4.complete.patch, > HIVE-78.4.no_thrift.patch, HIVE-78.5.complete.patch, > HIVE-78.5.no_thrift.patch, HIVE-78.6.complete.patch, > HIVE-78.6.no_thrift.patch, HIVE-78.7.no_thrift.patch, HIVE-78.7.patch, > HIVE-78.9.no_thrift.patch, HIVE-78.9.patch, createuser-v1.patch, > hive-78-metadata-v1.patch, hive-78-syntax-v1.patch, hive-78.diff > > > Allow hive to integrate with existing user repositories for authentication > and authorization infromation. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
