Yin Huai commented on HIVE-4487: -------------------------------- i meant when I did "show tables" in hive cli launched in eclipse. > Hive does not set explicit permissions on hive.exec.scratchdir > -------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-4487 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-4487 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 0.10.0 > Reporter: Joey Echeverria > Assignee: Chaoyu Tang > Fix For: 0.12.0 > > Attachments: HIVE-4487.patch > > > The hive.exec.scratchdir defaults to /tmp/hive-$\{user.name\}, but when Hive > creates this directory it doesn't set any explicit permission on it. This > means if you have the default HDFS umask setting of 022, then these > directories end up being world readable. These permissions also get applied > to the staging directories and their files, thus leaving inter-stage data > world readable. > This can cause a potential leak of data especially when operating on a > Kerberos enabled cluster. Hive should probably default these directories to > only be readable by the owner. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
