Description

As discussed in HIVE-16346 we should remove the config hive.warehouse.subdir.inherit.perms and all the permissions inheritance logic.

This feature is no longer needed in Hive as the traditional permission model has largely been replaced by external security systems such as Ranger and Sentry.
