>             Project: Bigtop
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Tests
>    Affects Versions: 0.7.0

> 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.
