Vadim Spector commented on SENTRY-939:
--------------------------------------

Hi Sravya, I wonder why this JIRA is still open since you say there is a way of doing it by using the property "sentry.authorization-provider.include-hdfs-authz-as-acl". Does this mechanism not work as expected? Is this JIRA duplicate to https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SENTRY-1418)? Thanks!

> Seems like some sentry users have a batch id for each application which creates the directory, ingests the data, then creates a table/partition over it. So the batch id is the the original owner of this directory.
> When NN has stale permissions during the time it cannot talk to Sentry (if sentry is down), falling back to hive:hive blocks everyone it would be helpful if at least this batch id has access otherwise ingest pipelines may break during this time. So would be helpful to provide a way to configure this behavior.
> - This does not entail ACLS.
> - We should add hive:hive as acl to make sure hive has access
