Ashutosh Chauhan commented on HIVE-3016: ---------------------------------------- I concur with Ed & Carl. Proposed solution is not the appropriate one for the described problem. Whole point of auth system is to address such use-cases. If auth system is lacking in some ways to address the use case, we shall strive to improve it. > Allow disabling foreign table access (cross database) using hiveconf > -------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-3016 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-3016 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Query Processor > Reporter: Sambavi Muthukrishnan > Assignee: Sambavi Muthukrishnan > Priority: Minor > Attachments: hive-3016.1.patch.txt > > Original Estimate: 48h > Remaining Estimate: 48h > > Disallow cross database access to tables using Y.T syntax under a specific > configuration in HiveConf. > i.e. when hive.error.on.crossdatabaseaccess is set to true, return an error > when Y.T syntax is used to access tables and Y is not the current database. > This can be set both via the client and in hive-site.xml, and will default to > false. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
