Carl Steinbach commented on HIVE-2504:
--------------------------------------
@Ashutosh: Yes, but that then shifts the configuration burden to the
administrator.
The point of this ticket is to reduce the configuration burden on admins/users
by
providing a sensible set of default configuration parameters. I'm also
selfishly interested
in heading-off the inevitable stream of emails to hive-user from folks wondering
why Hive won't let them insert data into the table they just created.
Do you disagree with this approach?
> Warehouse table subdirectories should inherit the group permissions of the

> 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.
