Grant read and write permissions on the Hive warehouse directory. You can find the location of the warehouse directory in the hive.metastore.warehouse.dir property of the hive-site.xml file. For example, the default might be

/user/hive/warehouse

or

/apps/hive/warehouse

.

Grant permission to the Hadoop impersonation user. Optionally, you can assign -777 permissions on the directory.
