Bharat Viswanadham commented on HADOOP-14843:
---------------------------------------------
[~jlowe] Thanks for comments. One point I have not understood from your comment
how can FsPermission("+r") could act like mode 0777 and still pass the tests
as they are written in this patch. What do you mean by this.
As +r is 0444 right?

> A user misunderstood the syntax format for the FsPermission symbolic
> constructor and passed the argument "-rwr" instead of "u=rw,g=r". In 2.7 and
> earlier this was silently misinterpreted as mode 0777 and in 2.8 it oddly
> became mode 0000. In either case FsPermission should have flagged "-rwr" as
> an invalid argument rather than silently misinterpreting it.
