Behavioral Changes in Apache Hive

Learn about the change in certain functionality of Hive that has resulted in a change in behavior from the previously released version to this version of Cloudera Runtime.

Summary:

CDP runtine 7.2.16 inroduces a new configuration property that affects how Ranger vailidates Hive url policies. Specifically, this new property allows you to restore the 7.2.15 behavior when Ranger validates Hive URL policies.

Previous behavior:

In 7.2.15, Ranger used a relative path to validate Hive url policies.

New behavior:

To configure the type of path that Ranger uses to validate Hive url policies:

1. Go to Cloudera Manager > Hive_on_Tez > Configuration.
2. In Search, type hive_service.
3. In Hive Service Advanced Configuration Snippet (Safety-Valve) for hive-site.xml, click +.
4. Add the file path configuration property.
   1. In Name, type hive.ranger.use.fully.qualified.url
   2. In Value, type true.
5. Click Save Changes (CRTL+S).

When you set hive.ranger.use.fully.qualified.url to true, a fully qualified path will be used to validate against ranger url policies. When you set hive.ranger.use.fully.qualified.url to false, relative path is used. You cannot modify hive.ranger.use.fully.qualified.url at runtime.
