sodonnel opened a new pull request #1138: HADOOP-16443 Improve help text for 
setfacl --set option
URL: https://github.com/apache/hadoop/pull/1138
 
 
   The help text associated with the command "setfacl --set" states:
   
   ```
   --set     Fully replace the ACL, discarding all existing entries. The        
                <acl_spec> must include entries for user, group, and others for 
   
                compatibility with permission bits.               
   ```
   However the actual behaviour is a bit more subtle:
   
   >    If the ACL spec contains only access entries, then the existing default 
entries are retained. If the ACL spec contains only default entries, then the 
existing access entries are retained. If the ACL spec contains both access and 
default entries, then both are replaced.
   
   This PR will improve the help text to more align with the expected behaviour.
