Description

Staging HDFS dir specified in the cluster definition should have WORLD WRITABLE permission. It seems Cluster entity submit used to validate this condition in order to avoid further runtime failures.

But, this check had been reverted as part of the FALCON-910 commits (only checks for 755) as below:

ClusterEntityParser.java

        checkPathOwnerAndPermission(cluster.getName(),  stagingLocation.getPath(), fs, HadoopClientFactory.READ_EXECUTE_PERMISSION, false);
