Thejas M Nair edited comment on HIVE-8954 at 7/31/15 5:56 PM: -------------------------------------------------------------- [~Alexandre LINTE] Do you also have following set ? (either via hive-site.xml or hiveserver2-site.xml ) {code} <property> <name>hive.security.authorization.enabled</name> <value>false</value> </property> <property> <name>hive.security.authorization.manager</name> <value>org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.security.authorization.StorageBasedAuthorizationProvider</value> </property> {code} Looks like this happens only when StorageBasedAuthorization is enabled at compile time. The recommended place for enabling StorageBasedAuthorization is in hive metastore. [see SBA metastore instructions|https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/Storage+Based+Authorization+in+the+Metastore+Server] Setting this for compile time is redundant and not something I would recommend. I would recommend compile time authorization being enabled only if you want to use fine grained authorization such as SQL Standards based authorization or Apache Ranger. was (Author: thejas): [~Alexandre LINTE] Do you also have following set ?
