--------------------------------------
Summary: Hive throws an ugly error exception when HDFS sticky bit
is set
Key: HIVE-16960
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-16960
Project: Hive
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Janaki Lahorani
Priority: Critical
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.
