Review request for hive and Brock Noland.
Bugs: HIVE-8083
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-8083
Repository: hive-git
Description
-------
The compiler expects principals (user, group and role) as hive identifiers for
authorization DDLs. The user and group are entities that belong to external
namespace and we can't expect those to follow hive identifier syntax rules. For
example, a userid or group can contain '-' which is not allowed by compiler.
The patch is to allow string literal for user and group names.
The quoted identifier support perhaps can be made to work with this. However
IMO this syntax should be supported regardless of quoted identifier support
(which is an optional configuration)
Diffs

Testing

Added test case to verify various auth DDLs with new syntax.
