[jira] [Created] (HIVE-16497) FileUtils. isActionPermittedForFileHierarchy, isOwnerOfFileHierarchy file system operations should be impersonated

Thejas M Nair created HIVE-16497:
------------------------------------

             Summary: FileUtils. isActionPermittedForFileHierarchy, isOwnerOfFileHierarchy file system operations should be impersonated
                 Key: HIVE-16497
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-16497
             Project: Hive
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Authorization
            Reporter: Thejas M Nair
            Assignee: Thejas M Nair
             Fix For: 3.0.0


FileUtils.isActionPermittedForFileHierarchy checks if user has permissions for given action. The checks are made by impersonating the user.
However, the listing of child dirs are done as the hiveserver2 user. If the hive user doesn't have permissions on the filesystem, it gives incorrect error that the user doesn't have permissions to perform the action.
Impersonating the end user for all file operations in that function is also logically correct thing to do.
