Description

HDFS service check fails due to presence of hive owned files in /tmp folder of HDFS. These files have limited permissions with hive as owner and agent while executing HDFS service check tries to create /tmp folder and then chmod it to 777 recursively. This command fails resulting in HDFS service check failure.
As a fix HDFS service check should create /tmp directory and chmod directory to 777 but this should not be done recursively.
