> Key: HDFS-126
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-126
> Project: Hadoop HDFS
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Allen Wittenauer
> Assignee: Jakob Homan
>
> Currently, the settings for the default umask in Hadoop configuration files
> require the input format be in decimal. Considering that every admin in the
> world thinks of permissions in octal and/or symbolic format, the config files
> should really use those two formats and drop decimal.
> [... and, yes, I'm aware this breaks backwards compatibility. But in this
> case, I think that is perfectly acceptable.]
