Edward Capriolo commented on HIVE-2079:
---------------------------------------
Ok thanks that clears it up. This only effects those using hive-server and fat
client is exempt. This should not be very difficult. Hive always works in side
effect files and then does moves as the last step. So your technique to do
elsewhere and then copy in and chown makes sense. +1
