[jira] [Commented] (HIVE-2936) Warehouse table subdirectories
should inherit the group permissions of the warehouse parent directory
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-2936?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13250123#comment-13250123 ]
Rohini Palaniswamy commented on HIVE-2936:
------------------------------------------
Created a clone of HIVE-2904 to address some issues with inheriting permissions. Please refer to HIVE-2904 for prior history and discussions.
Description of changes:
Added hive.warehouse.subdir.inherit.perms which is false by default. The default behaviour of hive-0.8 stays. i.e directories will be created with the permissions of dfs.umask or dfs.umaskmode. If hive.warehouse.subdir.inherit.perms is set to true, then table directories will inherit the permission of the default warehouse or the custom database location. This comes in handy when you have databases created with different permissions or if the warehouse directory has permissions like 775.

> When the Hive Metastore creates a subdirectory in the Hive warehouse for
> a new table it does so with the default HDFS permissions derived from dfs.umask or dfs.umaskmode. There should be a option to inherit the permissions of the parent directory (default warehouse or custom database directory) so that the table directories have the same permissions as the database directories.
