> Currently Argus supports Hive authorization for both Hive CLI and HiveServer2. Hive CLI comes with a loophole where users can potentially access metastore and Argus config, giving them access to sensitive data such as Argus audit database.
> Moving forward, Argus should only support HiveServer2 for Hive authorization. Users accessing Hive CLI are protected through permissions at HDFS for folder/files corresponding to the Hive tables.
