shanyu zhao created HIVE-13888: ---------------------------------- Summary: Hive shims impersonate the same user if HADOOP_USER_NAME is the current user Key: HIVE-13888 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-13888 Project: Hive Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 1.2.1 Reporter: shanyu zhao
Hive shims provides a getUGI() method, which creates proxy user for impersonation if HADOOP_USER_NAME is present in environment. If HADOOP_USER_NAME equals to current login user, it is not necessary to create a proxy user. It is troublesome in a Hadoop cluster where impersonation is not allowed, and one tries to run hive code in a container where HADOOP_USER_NAME is set. RM will throw Exception: User XXX is not allowed to impersonate XXX. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
