Lefty Leverenz commented on HIVE-8337:
--------------------------------------
Trivial doc issue: The parameter description vaguely implies a default of
false, so it should be rewritten:
{quote}
"Set this to true if the the table directories should inherit the\n" +
"permission of the warehouse or database directory instead of being
created\n" +
"with the permissions derived from dfs umask"),
{quote}
You could just switch things around, fixing the-the typo while you're at it:
{quote}
"Set this to false if the table directories should be created\n" +
"with the permissions derived from dfs umask instead of\n" +
"inheriting the permission of the warehouse or database directory."),
{quote}
> Change default of hive.warehouse.subdir.inherit.perms to true

> In my experience users want {{hive.warehouse.subdir.inherit.perms}} set to
> true since they want permissions to be inherited from the parent directory.
> Let's set the default value to true.
