Hive's metastore when run as a thrift service creates directories as the 
service user instead of the real user issuing create table/alter table etc.

                 Key: HIVE-1476
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-1476
             Project: Hadoop Hive
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 0.6.0, 0.7.0
            Reporter: Pradeep Kamath


If the thrift metastore service is running as the user "hive" then all table 
directories as a result of create table are created as that user rather than 
the user who actually issued the create table command. This is different 
semantically from non-thrift mode (i.e. local mode) when clients directly 
connect to the metastore. In the latter case, directories are created as the 
real user. The thrift mode should do the same.
