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 > 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.
