> Currently, the settings for the default umask in Hadoop configuration files require the input format be in decimal.  Considering that every admin in the world thinks of permissions in octal and/or symbolic format, the config files should really use those two formats and drop decimal.
> [... and, yes, I'm aware this breaks backwards compatibility.  But in this case, I think that is perfectly acceptable.]
