--------------------------------

             Summary: init-hcfs.json needs to encode privileges as strings, not numbers.
                 Key: BIGTOP-1255
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BIGTOP-1255
             Project: Bigtop
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: jay vyas


JSON doesn't support octal numbers, so to encode privileges, its best to encode the privilege numbers as strings:

{noformat}
"/tmp",0777
{noformat}
Needs to be
{noformat}
"/tmp","0777"
{noformat}

Then, we can easily use Short.decode(..) to read in octal encoded numbers.  The short value can then be passed properly to the constructor of FsPermission.  

This is fixed in https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/attachment/12634808/BIGTOP-952.patch , but just wanted to create a separate placeholder JIRA while BIGTOP-952 is still pending.
