Namit Jain commented on HIVE-1667:
----------------------------------
There may be a superuser, say root, who is the owner of the parent dir (which
will be warehouse dir).
If I create a table T, the group should be my group, not root. - The current
BSD semantics force the group to be root
> Store the group of the owner of the table in metastore

> Currently, the group of the owner of the table is not stored in the metastore.
> Secondly, if you create a table, the table's owner group is set to the group
> for the parent. It is not read from the UGI passed in.
