Vaibhav Gumashta commented on HIVE-6957:
----------------------------------------
+1 non-binding. Latest patch looks good - tests are super useful, I think I'll
use this as base to add more kerberos related tests.
> SQL authorization does not work with HS2 binary mode and Kerberos auth

> Project: Hive
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Authorization, HiveServer2
> Affects Versions: 0.13.0

>
> 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.
