Jakob Homan updated HADOOP-6234:
--------------------------------

    Attachment: COMMON-6234.patch

Finished patch.  Rather than wait for 6105, handcoded check for prior value.  When 6105 is committed, will update to use its functionality.  

Compared to previous patch, provided backwards compatibility, updated documentation and split one test into three.  

Of note, HDFS needs to be updated due to this patch and will open a new JIRA for that now.

Passes all unit tests.

> 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.]
