[jira] [Commented] (HIVE-6846) allow safe set commands with sql standard authorization

["Thejas M Nair (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-6846?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13993106#comment-13993106 ] 

Thejas M Nair commented on HIVE-6846:
-------------------------------------

That failure does not indicate a product problem. In fact there is no reason to set local scratch dirs to 777 . That change was part of  HIVE-5486. The idea is that in HS2, with doAs enabled, the files/subdirs under scratch dir happens as the end user. But in case of local file system, this is not true, all file creation happens as the HS2 server user.
There are some changes that Vaibhav and Vikram have been working on to create the base scratch dir as the actual user running the query. That will help address this issue. The test issue is already not there in trunk.

I don't think this should block 0.13.1 release.
