Colin Patrick McCabe resolved HDFS-1322.
----------------------------------------

    Resolution: Invalid

As Suresh commented, this is working as designed.

If you don't want your permissions to be altered by the umask, you can set your client's umask to 0 using this code:
{code}
conf.set(CommonConfigurationKeys.FS_PERMISSIONS_UMASK_KEY, "0");
[... create FS using conf ...]
{code}

Try {{man umask}} for more information about umask.

> DistributedFileSystem.mkdirs(dir, dirPermission) calls DFSClient.mkdirs(dir, dirPermission) to create directory and then set permissions to (dirPermission & ~umask). Is this the intended behaviour ? I expect it to set permissions of dir to dirPermission instead of doing an AND with ~umask ---- similar to what 'chmod -m mode' does.
> The javadoc of DFSClient.mkdirs() says that the permissions of created dir will be set to dirPermission, which is not done currently. This needs to be modified based on the actual behaviour.
> This is not an issue in RawLocalFileSystem.
