Ashish Thusoo commented on HIVE-78:
-----------------------------------
On the first looks Realms seems to be a nice fit for this problem.
One capability that is missing there and which may become an issue later is the
ability to compose roles into higher level roles. To me it seems that roles are
strictly flat and are not hierarchical, so I cannot create an admin role that
has the basic roles within it . Can this be achieved with Realms? I have not
used it before so I am not sure that if it is achievable?
The other issue that I can think of is whether Realms is generic enough to
protect any kind of a resource and not just limited to web resourrces. We have
tables and partitions, servers etc. Could you elaborate on how this would work
for the capabilities that I listed in my previous comments.
