Review Comment:
   From your comments, you seem to use Ranger only for metadata permissions and 
not file permissions (HDFS service is not being used in Ranger for auth OR 
there are no policies for user 'hive'). So you would rely on Hadoop ACLs for 
file authorization. So (2) you mentioned doesn't apply. And (3) is expected to 
happen and it should happen in the absence of Ranger related Hadoop policies.
