------------------------------------------
1. From my understanding, the x bit for HDFS files is not necessary because
HDFS files are not executables. Similarly, the x bit for directories is not
needed because directory lookups do not do access checks. So, do we still keep
the x bit?
2. For upgrades, I propose that we look at the path of the file. If the path is
/user/yyy. if the path is of this form, then the upgrade code will
automatically create a user with name "yyy" and make "yyy" the owner of this
file/directory.

> I'm working on adding a permissions model to hadoop's DFS. The first step is
> this change, which associates user info with files. Following this I'll
> assoicate permissions info, then block methods based on that user info, then
> authorization of the user info.
> So, right now i've implemented adding user info to files. I'm looking for
> feedback before I clean this up and make it offical.
> I wasn't sure what release, i'm working off trunk.
