> When performing a recursive {{mkdirs}} operation, the NameNode takes the provided {{FsPermission}} and applies it to the final directory that is created. 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.
