Transactional table access

As administrator, you must enable the Apache Ranger service to authorize users who want to work with transactional tables. These types of tables are the default, ACID-compliant tables in Hive 3 and later.

ACID tables reside by default in /warehouse/tablespace/managed/hive on HDFS in CDP Private Cloud Base. Only the Hive service can own and interact with files in this directory. Storage-based authorization (SBA) is not supported and does not work for giving users access to ACID tables.

Ranger is the only available authorization mechanism that Cloudera recommends for ACID tables.
