Integrated in Hadoop-Common-trunk #90 (See
[http://hudson.zones.apache.org/hudson/job/Hadoop-Common-trunk/90/])
. Add new option dfs.umaskmode to set umask in configuration to use octal
or symbolic instead of decimal. Contributed by Jakob Homan.
> Permission configuration files should use octal and symbolic

> Currently, the settings for the default umask in Hadoop configuration files
> require the input format be in decimal. Considering that every admin in the
> world thinks of permissions in octal and/or symbolic format, the config files
> should really use those two formats and drop decimal.
> [... and, yes, I'm aware this breaks backwards compatibility. But in this
> case, I think that is perfectly acceptable.]
