Description

Found this issue while looking at the method mentioned by HIVE-6648.

'alter table .. partition .. rename to ..' and other commands calling Warehouse.mkdirs() doesn't inherit permission on the partition directories and consequently the data, when "hive.warehouse.subdir.inherit.perms" is set.

Also, in these scenarios of directory creation, group is not being inherited. Data files are already inheriting group by HIVE-3756.
