> This functionality was removed for no clear reason (if it doesn't apply to some use case it can just be disabled).
> It's still in use; in fact, it should be extended to ACID table subdirectories.
> This patch restores the functionality with some cleanup (to not access config everywhere, mostly), disables it by default, and extends it to ACID tables.
> There's a coming HDFS feature that will automatically inherit permissions. When that is shipped in a non-beta version and stabilized a bit, we can remove this functionality... however I dunno if that is good for other potential use cases, like non-HDFS file systems that do have a concept of a directory (Isilon?)
