Peter Vary created HIVE-19870: --------------------------------- Summary: HCatalog dynamic partition query can fail, if the table path is managed by Sentry Key: HIVE-19870 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-19870 Project: Hive Issue Type: Bug Reporter: Peter Vary Assignee: Peter Vary
The central issue is that HCatalog is assuming it needs to handle the storage based authorization features. When a job completes, in HCatalog's file committing phase it tries to manually set the permissions for the table for authorization's sake, which makes it go against auto-authorization managment features provided by Sentry. The offending code is specifically at [https://github.com/apache/hive/blob/master/hcatalog/core/src/main/java/org/apache/hive/hcatalog/mapreduce/FileOutputCommitterContainer.java#L373-L374] and [https://github.com/apache/hive/blob/master/hcatalog/core/src/main/java/org/apache/hive/hcatalog/mapreduce/FileOutputCommitterContainer.java#L380-L385] and [https://github.com/apache/hive/blob/master/hcatalog/core/src/main/java/org/apache/hive/hcatalog/mapreduce/FileOutputCommitterContainer.java#L952-L954] where you can notice that _after_ it moves the files created by the job into their respective partition directories under the final table destination, it goes onto trying to perform chmod/chgrp operations which will fail out -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
