Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Files in the indexing directory are created with 0600 permissions. As such, because I am indexing using tool local-ingest, it uses my current user to create files on nfs share. But services are running under root user on the other machines cannot access these files - these machines see them, but cannot read them.
Describe the solution you'd like
A config setting to control a default permission for file-based index
Describe alternatives you've considered
running a cron job each minute to do chmod -R a+rw /qw/indexes seems to be a hella ugly solution

Research direction
Start by locating the file-based index creation path and the configuration definitions used by tool local-ingest. Trace where new index files receive their permissions, then verify that the setting controls those defaults and that services running as other users can read the files.
