HDFS ACL | Unable to define ACL automatically for child folders

[Shashi Vishwakarma]

I have following scenario. There is parent folder /user with five child
folder as test1 , test2, test3 etc in HDFS.

    /user/test1
    /user/test2
    /user/test3

I applied acl on parent folder to make sure user has automatically access
to child folder.

     hdfs dfs -setfacl -m default:user:shashi:rwx /user


but when i try to put some file , it is giving permission denied exception

    hadoop fs -put test.txt  /user/test3
    put: Permission denied: user=shashi, access=WRITE,
inode="/user/test3":hdfs:supergroup:drwxr-xr-x

**getfacl output**

    hadoop fs -getfacl /user/test3
    # file: /user/test3
    # owner: hdfs
    # group: supergroup
    user::rwx
    group::r-x
    other::r-x

Any pointers on this?

Thanks
Shashi
