Doug Cutting commented on HADOOP-1298: -------------------------------------- > do we still keep the x bit? One reason to keep it would be to maintain it when files are copied into and out of HDFS from filesystems that do use it. So, if you archive a directory containing executables in HDFS, it would be nice if it were restored with the x bits intact. Not required, but a feature. The easy workaround is to use tar files to preserve x bits. > adding user info to file > ------------------------ > > Key: HADOOP-1298 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-1298 > Project: Hadoop > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: dfs, fs > Reporter: Kurtis Heimerl > Assignee: Christophe Taton > Fix For: 0.15.0 > > Attachments: 1298_2007-09-06b.patch, 1298_2007-09-07g.patch, > hadoop-user-munncha.patch17 > > > I'm working on adding a permissions model to hadoop's DFS.
