@jjiang037, thanks for the PR.

Quick question, how is it different from HIVE-27285, IIRC for both database and Table/View we are passing owner information in hivePrivObject.

Hi @Aggarwal-Raghav, thanks for the review and question!

You're right—HIVE-27285 introduced ownership info (ownerName, ownerType) in TableMeta and updated filterTableMetas to work with it. But it didn’t use that info within the TableFilterContext.

This PR (HIVE-28898) addresses that gap:

Wires ownership into TableFilterContext: Adds a createFromTableMetas factory method that converts TableMeta to Table and copies ownerName and ownerType.

Populates HivePrivilegeObjects properly: getInputHObjs now includes owner info when building the list, enabling plugins like Ranger to use it.

Ensures correct flow in HMSHandler: Updates get_all_tables to fetch TableMeta (with ownership) before filtering, so it propagates down properly.

In short: HIVE-27285 exposed ownership data; this PR makes sure it’s actually used during filtering and authorization.
