Description
Currently HMS supports authorization using StorageBasedAuthorizationProvider which relies on permissions at filesystem – like HDFS. Hive supports a pluggable authorization interface, and multiple authorizer implementations (like SQLStd, Ranger, Sentry) are available to authorizer access in Hive. Extending HiveMetastore to use the same authorization interface as Hive will enable use of pluggable authorization implementations; and will result in consistent authorization across Hive, HMS and other services that use HMS (like Spark).
