             Summary: select user(), current_user()
                 Key: HIVE-9143
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-9143
             Project: Hive
          Issue Type: Improvement
    Affects Versions: 0.13.0
            Reporter: Hari Sekhon
            Priority: Minor


Feature request to add support for determining in SQL session which user I am 
currently connected as - an old MySQL ability:
{code}mysql> select user(), current_user();
+----------------+----------------+
| user()         | current_user() |
+----------------+----------------+
| root@localhost | root@localhost |
+----------------+----------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
{code}
which doesn't seem to have a counterpart in Hive at this time:
{code}0: jdbc:hive2://<host>:100> select user();
Error: Error while compiling statement: FAILED: SemanticException Line 0:-1 
Invalid function 'user' (state=42000,code=40000)
0: jdbc:hive2://<host>:100> select current_user();
Error: Error while compiling statement: FAILED: SemanticException [Error 
10011]: Line 1:7 Invalid function 'current_user' (state=42000,code=10011){code}
