             Summary: Support setting execution bit for regular files
                 Key: HDFS-4659
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-4659
             Project: Hadoop HDFS
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: namenode
    Affects Versions: 3.0.0
            Reporter: Brandon Li
            Assignee: Brandon Li


By default regular files are created with mode "rw-r--r--", which is similar as 
that on many UNIX platforms. However, setting execution bit for regular files 
are not supported by HDFS. 

It's the client's choice to set file access mode. HDFS would be easier to use 
if it can support it, especially when HDFS is accessed by network file system 
protocols. This JIRA is to track the change to support execution bit.
