> Key: HIVE-25444
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-25444
> Project: Hive
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: HiveServer2
> Reporter: Sai Hemanth Gantasala

> Using a config "hive.security.authorization.tables.on.storagehandlers" with default false, we'll disable the authorization on storage handlers by default. Authorization is enabled if this config is set to true.
> Background: Previously, whenever a user is trying to create a table based on a storage handler, the end user we are seeing in the external storage (Ex: hbase, kafka, and druid) is ‘hive’ so we cannot really enforce the condition in ranger on the end-user.
> https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-24705 solved this security issue, by enforcing a check in Apache ranger for hive service. This patch had changes in both hive and ranger. (ranger client depends on hive changes.)Now the reason why I’m disabling this feature by default is that users can updated hive code but not ranger code. In that case, users see a permission denied error when executing a statement like: {{CREATE TABLE hive_table_0(key int, value string) STORED BY 'org.apache.hadoop.hive.hbase.HBaseStorageHandler'}} but user/admin cannot add a ranger policy in hive because ranger code is not updated. This way we’ll unblocked users from creating tables based on storage handlers as they were previously doing.Users can turn on this config if they have updated ranger code.
