Prasad Chakka commented on HIVE-78: ----------------------------------- This is great. I have few questions.. 1) What would be the syntax to create user/passwd combos and logging in? 2) Are the permissions stored in metastore are per user or per table or a combo? 3) Do we really need groups? I don't think MySQL implements groups. 4) I am totally naive in authentication systems, but I am assuming only access details are stored in metastore and authentication is done by one of the systems discussed. is that correct? > Authentication infrastructure for Hive > -------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-78 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-78 > Project: Hadoop Hive > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: Server Infrastructure > Reporter: Ashish Thusoo > Assignee: Edward Capriolo > > Allow hive to integrate with existing user repositories for authentication > and authorization infromation. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
