policy: keep implied S3 grants of a tables statement on table data - #278
Conversation
A tables action implies the S3 data actions Iceberg uses on table files, and statement matching rewrote any <bucket>/<object> request into the tables resource form bucket/<bucket>/table/<first segment> before matching. It never checked that the bucket was a warehouse, so s3tables:* on bucket/*, and the built-in tables policies on "*", granted GetObject, PutObject and DeleteObject on every object in every bucket. An Allow statement now matches an implied S3 action only on a resource already in tables form, which the server presents once it has resolved an object to a warehouse. A Deny keeps the rewrite, so denying a table still denies its files. S3 actions a statement names itself, as in a legacy mixed statement, match as before.

A Deny stored before mixing action types was refused can name both an S3 action and a tables action. It skipped the tables rewrite whenever the request matched the S3 action it names, so it no longer denied the files of the tables it covers, and a separate S3 Allow could reach them. The named-action exemption now applies to an Allow only; every Deny matches the object's tables form as before. The three extra-path cases present a plain object path again, which is not table data until the server presents it in tables form.
