Haohui Mai commented on HDFS-6326:
----------------------------------

bq. o we know any real clients that are directly referencing the toShort value?

The web UI:

{code}
'helper_to_permission': function (v) {
      var symbols = [ '---', '--x', '-w-', '-wx', 'r--', 'r-x', 'rw-', 'rwx' ];
      var sticky = v > 1000;

      var res = "";
      for (var i = 0; i < 3; ++i) {
        res = symbols[(v % 10)] + res;
        v = Math.floor(v / 10);
      }
...
{code}

Note that in the webhdfs response, the permission is in 0000-1777 in decimals. 
That's the reason why the above code is written that way. I expect this is true 
for other clients that have to parse the permission bits themselves.
