ATTACHMENT ID: 12617800 > The secure metastore service should reject connection from users that it > can't impersonate > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: HIVE-5987 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-5987 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Metastore, Security > Affects Versions: 0.12.0 > Reporter: Prasad Mujumdar > Assignee: Prasad Mujumdar > Attachments: HIVE-5987.1.patch > > > The secure metastore always doesn't allow any client to connect without a > valid kerberos ticket. Also the client requests are executed by impersonating > the requesting userid. If metastore principal doesn't have privileges to > impersonate the connecting user, then the DDL operations (eg create table, > partition etc) will fail. However any user with valid Kerberos ticket is can > connect to metastore service and perform read-only metadata operations. For > example, get list of databases, tables; properties of each table like HDFS > location, file type etc. > The secure metastore behavior should be consistent. If a the metastore server > doesn't have privileges to impersonate the connecting user, then it should > reject connection. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.1.4#6159)
