Jon Morisi troubleshoots an irksome issue:
Just a quick blog here about an issue I had with HDP-3.1.4.0. I recently was setting up a new user with specific rights in Ranger for Hive access. After creating the new policy and attempting to validate it, I received an error message stating that the hive user does not have use privilege. This error was produced even though I had just created the policy specifically granting those privilege’s.
Upon further review I noticed that the plugin was downloading the policy, but not applying it.
Read on to learn what the problem was and how Jon corrected it.
