Robert Kanter resolved OOZIE-1955.
----------------------------------

    Resolution: Won't Fix

Unfortunately, one of the caveats of the shell action is that in a non-Kerberized cluster, it runs as the MapReduce user (i.e. mapred) instead of the actual user; in a Kerberized cluster, it runs as the actual user.  This is a behavior of Hadoop and there isn't anything we can really do about it.

If all you're doing is running the {{hive -f}} command, you should just use the Hive action, which does the same thing but as the correct user and includes some other useful behaviors as well.

> While trying to execute Hive script from shell script(shell action of Oozie) using hive -f command,Hive script fails.
> The problem is that the shell script is submitted from Oozie as mapred user,and the staging area is created with respect to the user who submits the Oozie workflow.So mapred user is unable to 
>  access this staging area and the hive scripts get failed.
> Below is the exception: 
> java.io.IOException: The ownership on the staging directory hdfs://nameservice1/user/user1/.staging is not as expected. 
>  It is owned by user1. The directory must be owned by the submitter mapred or by mapred
>  at org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.JobSubmissionFiles.getStagingDir(JobSubmissionFiles.java:113)
