> Services such as templeton need to be able to invoke hcat ddl commands as
> another user.
> Hcat/hive metastore provides a way to doAs() as another user using the
> hadoop.proxyuser.* configuration settings.
> But on hcat client side, there is no support for proxy user. This becomes a
> problem because authorization checks happen on the client and end up using
> the current process user instead of the user on whose behalf the action is
> being performed.
