- If tables in the database are created by multiple users, the Drop database command fails to be executed even if the user who runs the command is the owner of the database.
- In a secondary index, when the parent table is triggered, insert and compaction are triggered on the index table. If you select a query that has a filter condition that matches index table columns, you should provide selection permissions for the parent table and index table.
- The LockFiles folder and lock files created in the LockFiles folder will have full permissions, as the LockFiles folder does not contain any sensitive data.
- If you are using ACL, ensure you do not configure any path for DDL or DML which is being used by other process. You are advised to create new paths.
Configure the path for the following configuration items:
1) carbon.badRecords.location
2) Db_Path and other items during database creation
- For Carbon ACL in a non-security cluster, hive.server2.enable.doAs in the hive-site.xml file must be set to false. Then the query will run as the user who runs the hiveserver2 process.
