Description
Currently we need to add direct grants for all Hive tables' LOCATIONs.
Like, 'hdfs_staging/table1', 'hdfs_staging/table2', etc..
It's not manageable this way. - we can't add grants for each and every table.
It would be great if we could just do one grant -
'hdfs_staging/' so it would automatically be applied to 'hdfs_staging/table1', 'hdfs_staging/table2', and other subdirectories.
There is probably a reason this wasn't implemented earlier? Thanks for considering this improvement.
