Thanks Alan for the info. I will have a look. Some tools like MongoDB (providing its own database) provide a layer of access by creating an admin database through which admin users are authenticated and new users can be added to the individual databases.
When it comes to Hadoop and its ultimate storage system HDFS, it is clear that a common framework for security is needed. Having said that one can bypass anything by going directory to HDFS file system. We are also concerned that when data in ingested into Hive through temporary OS file storage, the data on the file system needs to be encrypted to stop exposing client data. Most RDBMS offer encrypted tables and columns and I presume if and when data ends up in Hive, they need to protected through encryption. I have not heard of any encrypted utility within Hive yet.
