Rohini Palaniswamy updated HIVE-2936:
-------------------------------------
Description:
When the Hive Metastore creates a subdirectory in the Hive warehouse for
a new table it does so with the default HDFS permissions derived from dfs.umask
or dfs.umaskmode. There should be a option to inherit the permissions of the
parent directory (default warehouse or custom database directory) so that the
table directories have the same permissions as the database directories.
was:
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.
Issue Type: New Feature (was: Bug)
Hadoop Flags: (was: Reviewed)
> Warehouse table subdirectories should inherit the group permissions of the
> warehouse parent directory
