The NameNode also uses these permissions when creating intermediate > directories, except it promotes with {{u+wx}} (i.e. {{mode |= 0300}}) in > order to ensure that there are sufficient permissions on the new directory to > create further subdirectories within it. > Currently the code that does this permission promotion uses the > three-argument {{FsPermission}} constructor, which sets the sticky bit to > {{false}}. I think this is probably not the intended behaviour, so I'm > opening a bug. I'll attach a patch shortly that changes the behaviour so that > the sticky bit is always retained. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
