[jira] Commented: (HADOOP-3078) bin/hadoop fs -chmod doesnot change execution permissions for files.

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-3078?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12581619#action_12581619 ] 

Raghu Angadi commented on HADOOP-3078:
--------------------------------------

At the least, it is confusing to the user. 'x' is something user sets (unlike 'd'), I wonder why it is disallowed for files in HDFS.

> I have two files in scripts directory
> $ hadoop fs -lsr scripts
> /user/amarsri/scripts/my.pl     <r 3>   146     2008-03-24 14:39        rw-r--r--       amarsri supergroup
> /user/amarsri/scripts/xyz.pl    <r 3>   146     2008-03-24 14:39        rw-r--r--       amarsri supergroup
> When i ran -chmod 777 on the file, file has only read permissions but no execution permissions.
> $ hadoop fs -chmod 777 /user/amarsri/scripts/my.pl
> $ hadoop fs -lsr scripts
> /user/amarsri/scripts/my.pl     <r 3>   146     2008-03-24 14:39        rw-rw-rw-       amarsri supergroup

> When I do -chmod -R 777 on the directory, permissions are given to the directory, and the directories inside them, but files dont get execution permissions.
> $ hadoop fs -chmod -R 777 /user/amarsri/scripts/

> "$hadoop fs -ls" lists scripts as the following.
> /user/amarsri/scripts   <dir>           2008-03-24 14:39        rwxrwxrwx       amarsri supergroup
