Description

Column-level permissions on views are not supported: https://github.com/apache/impala/blob/da153104f26ef94f1b4db323f5629d678c55f9ee/fe/src/main/java/org/apache/impala/analysis/PrivilegeSpec.java#L248-L251
This means "GRANT SELECT(COLUMN) on <view>" will throw an exception. Impala needs to be updated to support column-level permissions on views.
