Brandon Li commented on HDFS-4659:
----------------------------------
Previously TestHDFSCLI failed because it didn't expect to see 'x' after "chmod
777". The test has been fixed.
touchz still creates files without +x. I've added one more test step in
TestPermission to verify this. Just uploaded a new patch for this.
TestFcHdfsSymlink failure is not introduced by this patch. JIRA HDFS-4662 has
been filed to track it.
> Support setting execution bit for regular files

> 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.
