Lefty Leverenz commented on HIVE-5961: -------------------------------------- Doc note: This should be documented in the EXPLAIN wikidoc (with version information). The authorization docs should also mention it, perhaps with examples, and link to the EXPLAIN syntax. Question: Does this work for all three types of authorization? * [LanguageManual -- Explain | https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/LanguageManual+Explain] * [LanguageManual -- Authorization | https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/LanguageManual+Authorization] ** [Storage Based Authorization | https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/Storage+Based+Authorization+in+the+Metastore+Server] ** [SQL Standard Based Authorization | https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/SQL+Standard+Based+Hive+Authorization] ** [Default Authorization -- Legacy Mode | https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/Hive+Default+Authorization+-+Legacy+Mode] > Add explain authorize for checking privileges > --------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-5961 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-5961 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Authorization > Reporter: Navis > Assignee: Navis > Priority: Trivial > Labels: TODOC14 > Fix For: 0.14.0 > > Attachments: HIVE-5961.1.patch.txt, HIVE-5961.2.patch.txt, > HIVE-5961.3.patch.txt, HIVE-5961.4.patch.txt, HIVE-5961.5.patch.txt, > HIVE-5961.6.patch.txt > > > For easy checking of need privileges for a query, > {noformat} > explain authorize select * from src join srcpart > INPUTS: > default@srcpart > default@srcpart@ds=2008-04-08/hr=11 > default@srcpart@ds=2008-04-08/hr=12 > default@srcpart@ds=2008-04-09/hr=11 > default@srcpart@ds=2008-04-09/hr=12 > default@src > OUTPUTS: > > file:/home/navis/apache/oss-hive/itests/qtest/target/tmp/localscratchdir/hive_2013-12-04_21-57-53_748_5323811717799107868-1/-mr-10000 > CURRENT_USER: > hive_test_user > OPERATION: > QUERY > AUTHORIZATION_FAILURES: > No privilege 'Select' found for inputs { database:default, table:srcpart, > columnName:key} > No privilege 'Select' found for inputs { database:default, table:src, > columnName:key} > No privilege 'Select' found for inputs { database:default, table:src, > columnName:key} > {noformat} > Hopefully good for debugging of authorization, which is in progress on > HIVE-5837. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
