Namit Jain commented on HIVE-78:
--------------------------------
Looking at Min's patch createuser-v1.patch,
I dont think we need create user/drop user etc. at all.
As Edward mentioned before,
When HWI starts the session on behalf of the user it runs "SET hadoop.ugi={what
user entered in the test box}" at that point if the user initiates a hive job,
the output of that job should be files owned by that user. I am pretty sure the
code in QL just chown's the files at job end or perhaps the entire job runs as
that user (I cant remember).
the user is always available from the environment and for now, let us assume
that all authorizations happen to that user.
