---------------------------------------
Summary: restore inheritPerms functionality and extend it to ACID
Key: HIVE-18689
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-18689
Project: Hive
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Sergey Shelukhin
Assignee: Sergey Shelukhin
This functionality was removed for no clear reason (if it doesn't apply to some
use case it can just be disabled).
It's still in use; in fact, it should be extended to ACID table subdirectories.
This patch restores the functionality with some cleanup (to not access config
everywhere, mostly), disables it by default, and extends it to ACID tables.
There's a coming HDFS feature that will automatically inherit permissions. When
that is shipped in a non-beta version and stabilized a bit, we can remove this
functionality... however I dunno if that is good for other potential use cases,
like non-HDFS file systems that do have a concept of a directory (Isilon?)
