Hudson commented on HIVE-5048: ------------------------------ FAILURE: Integrated in Hive-trunk-hadoop2 #364 (See [https://builds.apache.org/job/Hive-trunk-hadoop2/364/]) HIVE-5048 : StorageBasedAuthorization provider causes an NPE when asked to authorize from client side. (Sushanth Sowmyan via Ashutosh Chauhan) (hashutosh: http://svn.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/?root=Apache-SVN&view=rev&rev=1514569) * /hive/trunk/ql/src/java/org/apache/hadoop/hive/ql/security/authorization/HiveAuthorizationProviderBase.java * /hive/trunk/ql/src/java/org/apache/hadoop/hive/ql/security/authorization/StorageBasedAuthorizationProvider.java > StorageBasedAuthorization provider causes an NPE when asked to authorize from > client side. > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: HIVE-5048 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-5048 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Security > Reporter: Sushanth Sowmyan > Assignee: Sushanth Sowmyan > Fix For: 0.12.0 > > Attachments: HIVE-5048.2.patch, HIVE-5048.patch > > > StorageBasedAuthorizationProvider(henceforth referred to as SBAP) is a > HiveMetastoreAuthorizationProvider (henceforth referred to as HMAP, and > HiveAuthorizationProvider as HAP) that was introduced as part of HIVE-3705. > As long as it's used as a HMAP, i.e. from the metastore-side, as was its > initial implementation intent, everything's great. However, HMAP extends HAP, > and there is no reason SBAP shouldn't be expected to work as a HAP as well. > However, it uses a wh variable that is never initialized if it is called as a > HAP, and hence, it will always fail when authorize is called on it. > We should change SBAP so that it correctly initiazes wh so that it can be run > as a HAP as well. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
