[jira] [Created] (SENTRY-74) Add column-level privileges for Hive/Impala

Jeremy Beard created SENTRY-74:
----------------------------------

             Summary: Add column-level privileges for Hive/Impala
                 Key: SENTRY-74
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SENTRY-74
             Project: Sentry
          Issue Type: Improvement
    Affects Versions: 1.3.0
            Reporter: Jeremy Beard


Currently the finest grain of privilege is at the table/view level. This leads to the unwieldy scenario where a different view has to be created for each combination of columns that need to be restricted. With column level privileges this would not be required.

In the policy file column privileges might potentially look like:

server=server1->db=default->table=employees->column=salary->action=select
