Wei-Chiu Chuang commented on HADOOP-13508:
------------------------------------------

Is it an incompatible change? I wonder if it make sense to backoprt to branch-2.

OIV ReverseXML tool fails to reconstruct a fsimage that has sticky bit because 
of this bug.

> FsPermission string constructor does not recognize sticky bit

> FsPermissions's string constructor breaks on valid permission strings, like 
> "1777". 
> This is because FsPermission class naïvely uses UmaskParser to do it’s 
> parsing of permissions: (from source code):
> public FsPermission(String mode) {
>     this((new UmaskParser(mode)).getUMask());
> }
> The mode string UMask accepts is subtly different (esp wrt sticky bit), so 
> parsing Umask is not the same as parsing FsPermission.
