Description

Hadoop 0.16 includes file permissions in DFS and we need FsShell to support common file permissions related commands :

• chown
• chgrp
• chmod

Also output from some of the commands like ls -l will change to reflect new file properties. Aim is to make the above commands look like its Unix/Linux couterparts. They will of course support only the subset of the options.
