Description

In HADOOP-4705, we fixed hod to grant read access to all directories and files that HOD creates, and also set the umask such that files created by Hadoop also get read permissions to world. In shared clusters, this is opening up too much to the users. This issue is for resetting the permissions to be as constrained as possible, while still addressing the requirement raised in HADOOP-4705.
