Produce better error message when warehouse is not writable
-----------------------------------------------------------
Key: HIVE-2644
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-2644
Project: Hive
Issue Type: Task
Reporter: Edward Capriolo
This error is caused my not having a /user/hive/warehouse in local mode and
because it is not writeable. We can possibly check this a precondition and
produce a nicer error.
