             Summary:  Need an API / configuration parameter to find out the authenticated user from beeline
                 Key: HIVE-13085
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-13085
             Project: Hive
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Oleksiy Sayankin
            Assignee: Oleksiy Sayankin


This request has come from the customer who wanted an API / configuration parameter to identify the authenticated user from the beeline. This is similar to the request done in the thread below:

https://community.hortonworks.com/questions/2620/hadoop-environment-variable-or-configuration-varia.html

But this would not be a feasible option for the requestor. So here the general ask is once the user is logged in to the beeline, they wanted to identify who this user is and then use this information to  enforce the ACLs on the tables through the customer's custom code.
