When hive-site parameter
hive.security.authorization.manager is changed from default
org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.security.authorization.StorageBasedAuthorizationProvider
to
org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.security.authorization.plugin.sqlstd.SQLStdHiveAuthorizerFactory
as shown here then HCat returns a NPE. It was reported in this JIRA HIVE-8408 and fixed for version 0.14 but I would need a work around that does compromise security without upgrading. Can someone advise?
Thanks,
Charles
