> Currently many all the files created by the HBase user are just written using
> the default file permissions granted by hdfs. However, to ensure only the
> correct user/group views the files and directories, we need to be able to
> apply a configurable umask to either directories or files.
> This ticket covers setting permissions for files written to dfs, as opposed
> to things like pid and log files.
> The impetus for this was to allow the web-user to view the directory
> structure of hbase, but not to actually see any of the actual data hbase is
> storing.
