[jira] [Commented] (SENTRY-1001) Improve usability of URIs and URI privileges

["Sravya Tirukkovalur (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SENTRY-1001?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15107688#comment-15107688 ] 

Sravya Tirukkovalur commented on SENTRY-1001:
---------------------------------------------

When we have a URI without a scheme is being used in a Hive operation, I do not think it is definitive that it would be a hdfs location. I guess hive has some semantics around how it defaults. Would be best to handle them similarly in the Hive binding hook of Sentry.

> Sentry currently requires users to have their URI privileges exactly match what is in the CREATE TABLE statement. For example, the following will not work:
> GRANT ALL ON URI 'hdfs://namenode:XXX/path/to/table'
> CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE foo LOCATION '/path/to/table'
> To make this more usable, Sentry should automatically handle this case and apply whatever the default scheme and authority based on the HDFS configs Sentry has been given.
