We recently upgraded our test cluster to CDH 4.1 and the chmod no longer works. sudo -u hdfs hadoop fs -chmod -R 1777 /tmp chmod: chmod : mode '1777' does not match the expected pattern. sudo -u hdfs hadoop fs -chmod -R +t /tmp chmod: chmod : mode '+t' does not match the expected pattern. This disagrees with the docs here: https://ccp.cloudera.com/display/CDH4DOC/Deploying+MapReduce+v1+%28MRv1%29+on+a+Cluster#DeployingMapReducev1%28MRv1%29onaCluster-Step7 Has anyone else encountered this?
