Colin Patrick McCabe commented on HADOOP-9155:
----------------------------------------------
I think you're right. The problem is that the default permission for
{{FileSystem#create}} is the same default as for {{FileSystem#mkdirs}}, namely
{{0777}}. It would make more sense for the default to be {{0666}} for files
and {{0777}} for directories.
I was confused by your earlier statement that "Currently umask works
differently as linux convention"-- but as you later said, it's not umask that's
working incorrectly here. I'm going to update the description and link this to
HDFS-4319; feel free to change it later.
> FsPermission should have different default value, 777 for directory and 666
