----------------------------------

Hi,I am new to Hadoop, Hive, and Linux. and i need some help. I am recieving an error in Hive which I think is permission related and I think this patch may help. But I dont know how to install this patch. Can someone help me with step by step directions on how to install this patch? The error message I get when I run the Hive test is:
CREATE TABLE invites (foo INT, bar STRING) PARTITIONED BY (ds STRING);
FAILED: Error in metadata: MetaException(message:Got exception: org.apache.hadoop.security.AccessControlException org.apache.hadoop.security.AccessControlException: Permission denied: user=myID, access=WRITE, inode="/user/hive/warehouse":hdfs:hadoop:drwxr-xr-x)
Reading up on this patch seems like this may be the fix. If not then any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

> When the Hive Metastore creates a subdirectory in the Hive warehouse for
> a new table it does so with the default HDFS permissions. Since the default
> dfs.umask value is 022, this means that the new subdirectory will not inherit the
> group write permissions of the hive warehouse directory.
> We should make the umask used by Warehouse.mkdirs() configurable, and set
> it to use a default value of 002.
