I am getting this below error, when I tried to create one table in hive.

hive> create table test;
FAILED: Execution Error, return code 1 from org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.DDLTask. MetaException(message:Got exception: org.apache.hadoop.security.AccessControlException Permission denied: user=test, access=WRITE, inode="/user/hive/warehouse/test":hadoop:hadoop:drwxrwx--t)

Hi@akhtar,

According to your error, it shows you are running hive with test user. But you did not set permissions for this user. So set permissions for test user as given below. 

hadoop fs -setfacl -m user:test:rwx /user/hive/warehouse

Hope this will help you.

Thank you
