Namit Jain commented on HIVE-3115:
----------------------------------
If there is no-one outside the walls of Facebook who is interested in using
links, then not having authorization for links should not be a problem for
anyone outside Facebook anyway.
I am not saying having authorization for links is not a good idea - advanced
users like Facebook will also need it, but this should not be coupled to the
patch.
It can definitely be done in a follow-up. If I remember right, security was
added for most of the new features in follow-ups. Infact, having the patch will
make it easy for other
contributors, or us to quickly address security.
Everyone has their own priority of features, and they are free to work on their
own priorities. Some features which are very useful for advanced users may not
be applicable for many other
users right away, but they do get a free ride in the long run. Anyway, we
already had a long discussion on the wiki - and there is no point repeating it.
