Warehouse table subdirectories should inherit the group permissions of the warehouse parent directory -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HIVE-2504 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-2504 Project: Hive Issue Type: Bug Components: Metastore Reporter: Carl Steinbach When the Hive Metastore creates a subdirectory in the Hive warehouse for a new table it does so with the default HDFS permissions. Since the default dfs.umask value is 022, this means that the new subdirectory will not inherit the group write permissions of the hive warehouse directory. We should make the umask used by Warehouse.mkdirs() configurable, and set it to use a default value of 002. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
