Description

When queries are being run concurrently against HS2, sometimes the wrong user ends performing the metastore action and you get an error like -

..INFO|java.sql.SQLException: Error while processing statement: FAILED: Execution Error, return code 1 from org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.DDLTask. MetaException(message:java.security.AccessControlException: action WRITE not permitted on path hdfs://example.net:8020/apps/hive/warehouse/tbl_4eeulg9zp4 for user hrt_qa)
