Hey venu123, Hive does not pass though sentry so it will not adhere to any rules you set directly in sentry, it only looks at facl's. To manage hdfs permissions with sentry you have to enable the plugin for hdfs/sentry sync and configure it appropriately. With the sync enabled hive checks the configuration then references the group in sentry but the group will be applied authentically as a facl by sentry. To get items working use the "hadoop fs -setfacl" command to add the user as a facl. To have make the user add authentically as files are deleted and created add them to the default ACL on the root folder. (Please note this was hit and miss for me, sometimes worked other times did not) Example add to default ACL hadoop fs -setfacl -m -R default:username:r-x /<path>
