When we converted from 0.15 to 0.16, we chown'ed all of our files. The
local dev team wrote the code in
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-3052 , but it wasn't committed
as a standard feature as they viewed this as a one off. :(
Needless to say, running a large chown as a MR job should be
significantly faster.
