> When calling LOAD DATA INPATH ... OVERWRITE INTO TABLE ... from a Hive user
> other than the HDFS file owner, and the HDFS sticky bit is set, then Hive
> will throw an error exception message that the file cannot be moved due to
> permission issues.
> Caused by: org.apache.hadoop.security.AccessControlException: Permission
> denied by sticky bit setting: user=hive,
> inode=sasdata-2016-04-20-17-13-43-630-e-00001.dlv.bk
> The permission denied is expected, but the error message does not make sense
> to users + the stack trace displayed is huge. We should display a better
> error message to users, and maybe provide with help information about how to
> fix it.
