@Neeraj Sabharwal I've the same issue. I am running the spark application from 'mike' user account. The file exists in /user/mike/test folder and 'mike' user has read and write access to it. The error message is
org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.metadata.HiveException: MetaException(message:java.security.AccessControlException: Permission denied: user=hive, access=WRITE, inode="/user/mike/test":mike:users:drwxr-xr-x Looks like it is trying to access the file as 'hive' user although the mike user is running the spark application. I granted the write access to all the users to '/user/mike/test' and executed the application. It successfully created the external table. I thought that the owner of the external table would be user 'hive', but it was 'mike'. The owner of the created table was set as the user executing the spark application. But the hdfs was accessed as 'hive' user. What is actually happening?
