Ashutosh Chauhan commented on HIVE-2936:
----------------------------------------
{code}
if (this.inheritPerms) {
try {
return fs.getFileStatus(f).isDir();
} catch (FileNotFoundException fnfe) {}
}
boolean success = fs.mkdirs(f);
if (this.inheritPerms && success) {
// Set the permission of parent directory.
fs.setPermission(f, fs.getFileStatus(f.getParent()).getPermission());
}
return success;
{code}
this improves on urs by just doing 1 call for "inheritPerms on existing path."

> 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.
