Hive metastore can not access existing databases after integrating with Sentry

avatar
Explorer

Hi

 

I am using Cloudera Express 5.5.1 on Ubuntu.

 

I have enabled Sentry authorisation on Hive as per Cloudera documentation.

 

When i log in to Hue using Hive user and choose Metastore. I don't see all my databases that were previosuly created.  All i see is 'Default' Database.  

 

I have Hadoop groups option enabled and "hive" is the group on hadoop

I have 777 set on /user/hive/warehouse directory and sub-directories

I have placed the sentry-provider.ini under /user/hive/sentry directory and it looks like below

 

[groups] 
# Assigns each Hadoop group to its set of roles  
hive= admin_role  

[roles] # The uris below define a define a landing skid which 
# the user can use to import or export data from the system. 
# Since the server runs as the user "hive" files in that directory 
# must either have the group hive and read/write set or 
# be world read/write. 
# http://www.cloudera.com/documentation/enterprise/5-5-x/topics/sg_hive_sql.html
# Implies everything on server1 and database
admin_role = server=server1->db=practice

 

When i try to create a new database, it get the below errors

Below are the permissions on the folders

 

drwxrwxrwt   - hive hive          0 2016-01-22 07:54 /user/hive/warehouse/master
drwxrwxrwt   - hive hive          0 2016-04-25 06:36 /user/hive/warehouse/person_partition_sqoop_subdir
drwxrwxrwt   - hive hive          0 2016-04-25 06:50 /user/hive/warehouse/person_partition_staging
drwxrwxrwt   - hive hive          0 2016-04-25 07:26 /user/hive/warehouse/person_partition_virtual
drwxrwxrwt   - hive hive          0 2016-04-22 08:27 /user/hive/warehouse/practice.db

 

 

Can somebody please suggest, why i am not able to access  existing databases as hive user and not allowed to even create new databases when i have given 777 permissions on warehouse folder and sub-folders to  hive:hive.

 

Thanks
