ower of hive table
hi folks,
I have a quick question, suppose I create a table in hive by a user and
after sometime I want to change the owner of the table.
1- how can I change the owner of the table.
2- does I also need to change the directory owner
3- or what is the feasible way to do that.
thanks

Hi All ,
The ownership of hive table is controlled by the ownership of its hdfs dir.
The table dir on hdfs ownership can be changed by running the following
command.
hadoop fs -chown $user:$grp -R $table_dir
$table_dir: can be obtained by running in hive shell .
> desc extended 'table_name' ;
Hope this help.
Thanks
