Edward Capriolo commented on HIVE-78:
-------------------------------------
@Min,
I think you are on the right track. I think you might have your terminology
mixed up. In AAA
The first A is authentication which usually implies supply a user/password.
second A authorize means what privileges the user has
third A is accounting ( we already have that)
The interfaces you supplied above looks like an Authorizer.... not
Authenticator. I think
{noformat}
public interface Authorizer {
public boolean authorize(Privilege priv);
public boolean authorize(Privilege priv, Table table);
public boolean authorize(Privilege priv, List<Table> table);
}
{noformat}
But you seem to be on a role. I will hang back and wait to see what you come up
with.
