[jira] [Commented] (NIFI-9235) Improve PutHDFS documentation; detection of umask / HDFS default ACL conflict

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-9235?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17420757#comment-17420757 ] 

Paul Grey commented on NIFI-9235:
---------------------------------

After discussing with others, the recommendation is that the `put` operation should fail, if the umask conflict is detected.  PutHDFS should not write to the remote endpoint if the write would result in a file with a less restrictive permission set than is intended.

> The PutHDFS processor specifies a umask configuration property, which is intended to contribute to the permissions of files it writes to HDFS.  If the PutHDFS target folder specifies a default ACL in the HDFS configuration, the PutHDFS umask is ignored.
> Improve PutHDFS documentation to call out this issue, and investigate means of alerting the user to this situation when it is detected at run time.
