Hi, While copying file from hdfs file permissions are getting changed, my assumption was that while copying permissions should be retained. Is this behavior correct ?
[abhishek@int019 ~]$ hdfs dfs -ls drwxr-xr-x - abhishek abhishek 0 2013-06-06 10:14 in-dir1 [abhishek@int019 ~]$ hdfs dfs -ls in-dir1 Found 2 items -rw-r--r-- 3 abhishek abhishek 0 2013-06-06 10:10 in-dir1/_SUCCESS *-rw-r--r-- * 3 abhishek abhishek 5000000000 2013-06-06 10:10 in-dir1/part-00001 [abhishek@int019 ~]$ hdfs dfs -copyToLocal in-dir1/part-00001 [abhishek@int019 ~]$ ll total 4887604 *-rwxr-xr-x* 1 abhishek abhishek 5000000000 Jun 10 06:08 part-00001 [abhishek@int019 ~]$ umask 0002 f*s.permissions.umask-mode* is not set so I think it defaults to 0022 Thanks, Abhishek
