Rohini Palaniswamy commented on HIVE-2504:
------------------------------------------
Sorry. I am new to the hive community and was not aware of the process and did
not see it in HowToContribute page also. Went with the general practice of
reopening bugs if there was an issue. Also this patch was still in trunk and
not part of any release. Thanks for pointing out the process. Have created
HIVE-2936 to track the new patch.

> 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.
