Quanlong Huang updated IMPALA-6479: ----------------------------------- Fix Version/s: Impala 2.13.0 > Update DESCRIBE statement to respect column level privileges > ------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: IMPALA-6479 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IMPALA-6479 > Project: IMPALA > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Frontend > Reporter: Adam Holley > Assignee: Adam Holley > Priority: Major > Fix For: Impala 3.0, Impala 2.13.0 > > > Currently if a user is granted select on a subset of columns on a table, the > DESCRIBE command will show them all columns, and the DESCRIBE > FORMATTED/EXTENDED is not allowed. > This change would update the DESCRIBE command that if a user has select on a > subset of columns, it will only show the data from the columns the user has > access to. For DESCRIBE FORMATTED/EXTENDED, if a user has some column > access, but not all columns, the Location, and View * Text would be removed > from the additional metadata. > The purpose of this change is to increase consumability by allowing tools > that allow users to browse data, such a for creating reports, to present only > columns they have access to. There is also a security aspect to this fix by > not exposing additional data. Other statements such a SHOW COLUMN STATS, > will be handled by a separate Jira to be opened. > -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: issues-all-unsubscr...@impala.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: issues-all-h...@impala.apache.org
