risk (was: hive should have an option to disable non sql commands that impose

> sql standard auth should disable commands that impose security risk
> -------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HIVE-4887
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-4887
> Project: Hive
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Components: Authorization, Security
> Reporter: Thejas M Nair
> Original Estimate: 72h
> Remaining Estimate: 72h
>
> Hive's RDBMS style of authorization (using grant/revoke), relies on all data
> access being done through hive select queries. But hive also supports running
> dfs commands, shell commands (eg "!cat file"), and shell commands through
> hive streaming.
> This creates problems in securing a hive server using this authorization
> model. UDF is another way to write custom code that can compromise security,
> but you can control that by restricting access to users to be only through
> jdbc connection to hive server (2).
> (note that there are other major problems such as this one - HIVE-3271)
