> Metastore API - Retrieving PrincipalPrivilegeSet Object using getPrivileges()
> method inside metastore Table class give Null value
> ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: HIVE-14687
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-14687
> Project: Hive
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Authorization
> Affects Versions: 1.2.1
> Environment: RHEL 6
> Reporter: Rahul Dhote
> Labels: authorization
>
> During retrieving the privileges associated with table using Hive metastore
> api, it retrieves all other properties associated with table and gives null
> for privileges set
> .[https://hive.apache.org/javadocs/r1.2.1/api/org/apache/hadoop/hive/metastore/api/Table.html]
> Configuration Applied:
> Enable the SQL Authorization inside the Hive Server and user like
> hive,rootcare added inside admin role through hive configuration.
> Problem:
> Unable to retrieve the privileges for table using getPrivileges() method
> after connecting through HiveMetastoreClient api. getPrivileges methods
> return null whereas other properties of table are retrieved.
> Analysis:
> I created the table using Hive user after connecting to HiveServer2
> usingJDBC. By Default, after creating the table the default
> privileges are assigned to the current user. It show all the privileges to
> table from hive prompt using sql.
> Tried to explore the API, found that Table class is generated by thrift and
> consist of thrift code. I found that privileges field inside the Table class
> is made optional. Also, found that, the privileges are stored inside the
> table TBL_PRIVS inside metastore database.
> Is there any specific configuration to be made to retrieve optional field ?
> Options Tried:
> 1. Tried to print the isSetPrivilege() property, but it returns null.
> 2. Tried to add user in admin role which is connecting to hive metastore.
> Still it gives the getPrivileges() as null.
> Sample Table Object Output:
> Table(tableName:sr4, dbName:hadoop_schema, owner:hive,
> createTime:1472192882, lastAccessTime:0, retention:0,
> sd:StorageDescriptor(cols:[FieldSchema(name:id, type:int, comment:null),
> FieldSchema(name:status, type:varchar(20), comment:null)], location:hdfs://
