Thiruvel Thirumoolan reassigned HIVE-6093: ------------------------------------------ Assignee: Thiruvel Thirumoolan > table creation should fail when user does not have permissions on db > -------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-6093 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-6093 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Authorization, HCatalog, Metastore > Reporter: Thiruvel Thirumoolan > Assignee: Thiruvel Thirumoolan > Priority: Minor > > Its possible to create a table under a database where the user does not have > write permission. It can be done by specifying a LOCATION where the user has > write access (say /tmp/foo). This should be restricted. > HdfsAuthorizationProvider (which typically runs on client) checks the > database directory during table creation. But > StorageBasedAuthorizationProvider does not. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.1.4#6159)
