I am new to Hadoop and Hive so this question may be too basic

I am using Hadoop as a non-admin user, i.e., I do not know the hdfs, root or superuser passwords. My objective is to just query the Hive tables and probably do some simple analysis but not write in the hdfs or create any new tables.

```
Logging initialized using configuration in file:/etc/hive/2.3.2.0-2950/0/hive-log4j.properties
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.RuntimeException: org.apache.hadoop.security.AccessControlException: Permission denied: user=b001195, access=WRITE, inode="/user/b001195":hdfs:hdfs:drwxr-xr-x
    at org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.server.namenode.FSPermissionChecker.check(FSPermissionChecker.java:319)

```

I can see that this error says that this user does not have write access to hdfs. But I am not trying to write anything. Can anyone please suggest what changes I can make through my access level to remove this issue?

Thanks in advance for your help.
