Hive version 0.9.0 (hive-common-0.9.0-cdh4.1.2.jar)

Is there a way to disable  -h <hostname> option ?

This way , I can disable anyone on the network drop/alter tables.

Like I said below , even if I create a ROLE with only SELECT permission , a 
user on the network can DROP tables with a -h <hostname> option

Thanks

Sanjay

Subject: Hive Authorization is bypassed with -h option

Hi

Hive version 0.9.0 (hive-common-0.9.0-cdh4.1.2.jar)


<property>
  <name>hive.security.authorization.enabled</name>
  <value>true</value>
  <description>enable or disable the hive client authorization</description>
</property>



Linux User = hiveuser1 (no hive permissions)

CASE 1
hive -e "select * from outpdir_ptitle_explanation_parsed limit 10"
Authorization failed:No privilege 'Select' found for inputs { database:default, 
table:outpdir_ptitle_explanation_parsed, columnName:header_servername}. Use 
show grant to get more details.

CASE 2 (use the -h option)
hive -h localhost -e "select * from outpdir_ptitle_explanation_parsed limit 10"
Shows results !!!

Why does "-h" option bypass authorization

Thanks
