Hi, Konstantin,
>Perhaps more logical would be to do what Unix does: if permissions aren't
explicitly set during creation, those should be inherited from the parent.
as per my observations on Linux, the implicitly created directories take
default permissions 0777 & ~umask but not inherit them from parent.
E.g.
/bin/mkdir -m 700 a
/bin/mkdir -p -m 770 a/b/c/d
gives the following result:
a 700
a/b 775
a/b/c 775
a/b/c/d 770
('touch' Unix command does not have ability to create parent directories.)
Or you mean a behavior of a built-in system function, but not the standard
commands?
Currently suggested patch (see
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IGNITE-1637) fixes the behavior
exactly as it is implemented in HDFS (because main function of IGFS is to
be a replacement or a caching layer over HDFS):
--------------------------------
If a file is created, the created directories get
org.apache.hadoop.fs.permission.FsPermission#getDirDefault (0777)
permission. Umask *is* applied to the created file, but is *not *applied to
the created directories.
If a directory is created, all the parent directories are created with the
same permission that is requested for the directory itself. The only
exception is that "wx" (write and execute) permissions are explicitly added
for the owner on the parent directories to be able to write child
directories. Umask *is* applied to all the created directories.
If umask conflicts with the added permissions , the added permissions take
priority.
--------------------------------
Though, there is no problem to re-implement this in another way. Just would
like to make sure we have a proposal that is argued and agreed over the
community.
