> Hive's authorization mechanism works with DML and DDL statements only. Authorization checks are not applied when a Thrift client directly accesses the Metastore's Thrift interface, e.g. create_table(), drop_table(), alter_table(), get_databases(), get_tables(), etc.
> Catalog functions such as get_databases() and get_tables() are directly accessed by JDBC and ODBC drivers.
