-----------------------------------
Summary: SQL std auth - make role/user optional in grant/revoke
statements
Key: HIVE-6127
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-6127
Project: Hive
Issue Type: Sub-task
Reporter: Thejas M Nair
Assignee: Thejas M Nair
Follow up task of HIVE-5923.
Grant privilege and revoke privilege statements need to be changed to remove
the requirement to specify whether the grantee is a user or role. That is,
today Hive’s syntax is GRANT action ON [TABLE] table TO grantee where grantee
is USER|ROLE identifier.
If the keyword is not specified, hive will try to find role with that matches
the identifier, otherwise, it will assume it is a user.
