The storage-based authorization mode (since Hive v0.10.0) relies on the authorization provided by the storage-layer HDFS, which provides both POSIX and ACL permissions (available since Hive v0.14.0; refer to https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-7583).

This mode checks user permissions against the POSIX permissions on the corresponding file directories in HDFS. In addition to the POSIX permissions model, HDFS also provides access-control lists described in ACLs on HDFS at http://hadoop.apache.org/docs/r2.4.0/hadoop-project-dist/hadoop-hdfs/HdfsPermissionsGuide.html#ACLs_Access_Control_Lists ...
