    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-7210?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13012127#comment-13012127 ] 

Uma Maheswara Rao G commented on HADOOP-7210:
---------------------------------------------

Based on the passed arguments, it is creating the Handlers. when argument is -chown, it is creating ChownHandler. 
{code}
else if (cmd.equals("-chown")) {
      handler = new ChownHandler(argv[startIndex++]);
{code}
But here the problem is, it is not populating owner, group values in this constructor. just it is calling supper. It is not populating the group, owner.
{code}
protected ChownHandler(String cmd) { //for chgrp
      super(cmd);
}
{code}
Since it is not populating, setOwner will not be invoked on fileSystem.So permissions will not change.
{code}
   if (newOwner != null || newGroup != null) {
        try {
          srcFs.setOwner(file.getPath(), newOwner, newGroup);
{code}
