[jira] [Commented] (HIVE-13911) load inpath fails throwing org.apache.hadoop.security.AccessControlException

["Sahil Takiar (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-13911?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15716593#comment-15716593 ] 

Sahil Takiar commented on HIVE-13911:
-------------------------------------

[~hsubramaniyan] this patch states:

{code}
// If we do a rename for a non-local file, we will be transfering the original
// file permissions from source to the destination. Else, in case of mvFile() where we
// copy from source to destination, we will inherit the destination's parent group ownership.
{code}

Could you explain this in more detail? When renaming a file on the same filesystem, say from a staging directory to the final table location, why would we want to preserve the permissions of the src file? Wouldn't we want to just set the permissions to be the same as the parent directory (e.g. inherit parent permissions)?
