>
> Hive currently implements its own file access checks to determine if a user
> is allowed to perform an specified action on a file path (in
> StorageBasedAuthorizationProvider, also FileUtils). This can be prone to
> errors or inconsistencies with how file access is actually checked in Hadoop.
> HDFS-6570 adds a new FileSystem.access() API, so that we can perform the
> check using the actual HDFS logic rather than having to imitate that behavior
> in Hive. For versions of Hadoop that have this API available, we should use
> this API.
