------------------------------------

             Summary: StorageBasedAuthorizationProvider masks lower level exception with IllegalStateException
                 Key: HIVE-5051
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-5051
             Project: Hive
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Authorization
    Affects Versions: 0.12.0
            Reporter: Eugene Koifman
            Assignee: Eugene Koifman
             Fix For: 0.12.0


org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.security.authorization.StorageBasedAuthorizationProvider

has the following 2 methods

  private HiveException hiveException(Exception e) {
    HiveException ex = new HiveException(e);
    ex.initCause(e);
    return ex;
  }

  private AuthorizationException authorizationException(Exception e) {
    AuthorizationException ex = new AuthorizationException(e);
    ex.initCause(e);
    return ex;
  }


both, when called, will cause 
throw new IllegalStateException("Can't overwrite cause"); to be thrown and the original Exception is lost.
