Description

Steps to reproduce :

1) create role test_role
2) grant test_role to some group test_group
3) grant ALL on default database to test_role
4) verify that group test_group has rwx access on /user/hive/warehouse
5) create table test_table in database default
6) verify that group test_group has rwx access on /user/hive/warehouse/test_table
7) grant SELECT on test_table table to test_role
8) Notice that group test_group will have only r-x access on /user/hive/warehouse/test_table instead of the expected rwx
