HDFS - File Permission

The file permission system in HDFS follows almost the POSIX system. POSIX system  supports three types of permission .

READ   (r)
WRITE (w)
EXECUTE (x)


The read permission allows us to read files and list the contents of a directory.The write permission is required to write a file or, for a directory, to create or delete files or directories in it.The executeperission is not allowed as you cannot execute a file in HDFS. However ,you can have an execute permission on directory to access it's children.
