Currently, on > upgrade, all file permissions are 777, so this is a back-compatible change. > After an upgrade folks can change owners and groups and limit permissions, > and things will work as expected. > The current default, dfs.permissions=false, gives inconsistent behaviour: > permissions are displayed in 'ls' and returned by the FileSystem APIs, but > they're not enforced. In future releases we will certainly want > dfs.permissions=true to be the default, and making it so now will thus also > avoid an incompatible change. > dfs.permissions=false should be an optional, non-default configuration that > some sites may decide to use. It is further defined in HADOOP-2543. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
