----------------------------------------
[~thejas] The patch & added tests look good. I've added some minor comments on
rb. The documentation related comments are unrelated to this patch, so we can
always do it later. Thanks!
> SQL authorization does not work with HS2 binary mode and Kerberos auth

> Key: HIVE-6957
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-6957
> Project: Hive
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Authorization, HiveServer2
> Affects Versions: 0.13.0
> Reporter: Thejas M Nair
> Assignee: Thejas M Nair
> Attachments: HIVE-6957.1.patch
>
>
> In HiveServer2, when Kerberos auth and binary transport modes are used, the
> user name that gets passed on to authorization is the long kerberos username.
> The username that is used in grant/revoke statements tend to be the short
> usernames.
> This also fails in authorizing statements that involve URI, as the
> authorization mode checks the file system permissions for given user. It does
> not recognize that the given long username actually owns the file or belongs
> to the group that owns the file.
