Please help me: is there a way to "chown" in Hadoop?

I need to change a file's owner from userA to userB. Is there such a command? Thanks lot!

% hadoop dfs -ls file
/user/userA/file        2008-08-25 20:00 rwxr-xr-x   userA    supergroup

Look at the other commands dfs provides and you will see the answer
