> [~thundergun] reported an issue that analyzing a LOAD DATA statement fails in
> checking access to the source file while a Ranger HDFS policy actually
> exists to allow the access. Impala only loads the permissions from HDFS and
> check accesses by itself. Related codes:
> https://github.com/apache/impala/blob/ee4043e1a0940ae5711c68336d1ad522631d0e35/fe/src/main/java/org/apache/impala/analysis/LoadDataStmt.java#L195-L206
> When Ranger authorization is enabled, this could be wrong if the HDFS
> permissions is more restrict than the Ranger policies. According to the
> Ranger document:
> [https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=57901344#RangerUserGuide(workinprogress)-HDFSPolicycreation]
> {quote}when the NameNode receives a user request, the Ranger Plugin checks
> for policies set through the Ranger Policy Manager. Then, if there are no
> policies authorizing the request, the Ranger plugin checks for permissions
> set in HDFS.
> {quote}
> We currently don't have an embeded ranger-hdfs plugin to check this locally.
> For a quick fix, I think when Ranger authz is enabled, we can check the
> access using {{FileSystem#access(Path path, FsAction mode)}} to invoke a
> NameNode RPC to respect Ranger-HDFS policies.
