             Summary: HIVE should allow custom converting from HivePrivilegeObjectDesc to privilegeObject for different authorizers
                 Key: HIVE-11179
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-11179
             Project: Hive
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Dapeng Sun
            Assignee: Dapeng Sun


HIVE should allow custom converting from HivePrivilegeObjectDesc to privilegeObject for different authorizers:

There is a case in Apache Sentry: Sentry support uri and server level privilege, but in hive side, it uses {{AuthorizationUtils.getHivePrivilegeObject(privSubjectDesc)}} to do the converting, and the code in {{getHivePrivilegeObject()}} only handle the scenes for table and database 
{noformat}
privSubjectDesc.getTable() ? HivePrivilegeObjectType.TABLE_OR_VIEW :
        HivePrivilegeObjectType.DATABASE;
{noformat}

A solution is move this method to {{HiveAuthorizer}}, so that a custom Authorizer could enhance it.
