Description

In HiveAuthzBinding.java,

String defaultUmask = hiveConf.get(CommonConfigurationKeys.FS_PERMISSIONS_UMASK_KEY);
    if("077".equalsIgnoreCase(defaultUmask)) {
      LOG.error("HiveServer2 required a default umask of 077");
      return new NoAuthorizationProvider();
    }

The error is confusing and should be changed to say 077 mask doesn't work with Sentry or some such thing.
