Jesse Yates commented on HBASE-5526:
------------------------------------
In short, if we do allow setting umasks, we should do it for both directories
and files - doing it right the first (ok, second) time :)
> Optional file permission settings

> Currently many all the files created by the HBase user are just written using
> the default file permissions granted by hdfs. However, it is often times
> adventageous to only allow a subset of the world to view the actual data
> written by hbase when scanning the raw hdfs files.
> This ticket covers setting permissions for files written to hdfs that are
> storing actual user data, as opposed to _all_ files written to hdfs as many
> of them contain non-identifiable metadata.
