> HiveStrictManagedMigration tool can be used to move HDFS paths and to change
> ownership on said paths. It may be beneficial to do such file system
> operations as a different user than the one the tool itself is run.
> Moreover, while creating the external DB directory, the tool will chown the
> new directory to the user set as DB owner in HMS. If this is unset, no chown
> command is used. In this case we should make the 'hive' user the directory
> owner.
