Charmee Patel commented on SPARK-9042:
--------------------------------------
Sentry plugin is only managing access to HDFS. We have no issues reading
data from tables based on appropriate permissions. The production cluster
where we encounter this issue was configured for Sentry by Cloudera team.
But we can follow up one more time. Vijay Singh, who commented on this
issue and was on cloudera team helped us narrow down the issue to Hive
Metastore + Sentry being the culprit.

> Key: SPARK-9042
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-9042
> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: SQL
> Affects Versions: 1.2.0
> Reporter: Nitin Kak
>
> Hive queries executed from Spark using HiveContext use CLI to create the
> query plan and then access the Hive table directories(under
> /user/hive/warehouse/) directly. This gives AccessContolException if Apache
> Sentry is installed:
> org.apache.hadoop.security.AccessControlException: Permission denied:
> user=kakn, access=READ_EXECUTE,
> inode="/user/hive/warehouse/mastering.db/sample_table":hive:hive:drwxrwx--t
> With Apache Sentry, only "hive" user(created only for Sentry) has the
> permissions to access the hive warehouse directory. After Sentry
> installations all the queries are directed to HiveServer2 which translates
> the changes the invoking user to "hive" and then access the hive warehouse
> directory. However, HiveContext does not execute the query through
> HiveServer2 which is leading to the issue. Here is an example of executing
> hive query through HiveContext.
> val hqlContext = new HiveContext(sc) // Create context to run Hive queries
> val pairRDD = hqlContext.sql(hql) // where hql is the string with hive query
