Rohini Palaniswamy commented on HIVE-2504:
------------------------------------------
Please send questions to the user mailing list. You cannot create the table
because your warehouse directory is writable only by hdfs user. You can use
LOCATION clause in create table statement and create the table in a directory
where you have access.
> Warehouse table subdirectories should inherit the group permissions of the
> warehouse parent directory

> 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.
