Rohini Palaniswamy commented on HIVE-2504:
------------------------------------------
Had Thomas reopen the issue as I could not.
Couple of issues with the fix:
* The config that is actually being looked for is HIVE_FILES_UMASK_VALUE
instead of hive.files.umask.value as the Enum name() function is used and not
varname.
short umaskVal = (short)
conf.getInt(HiveConf.ConfVars.HIVE_FILES_UMASK_VALUE.name(), 0002);
* Because of the new FsPermission(short mode) the value for the configuration
has to be specified in decimal instead of a octal umask.
Would be more happy if the fix did not resort to using this setting at all
and instead applied the permissions of the parent directory.

> 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.
