Description

The hadoop documentation does not contain the information that the ACL entries of a file or dir are capped by 32. My proposal is to add a single line to the md file informing the users about this.

Remark: this is indeed the maximum as (from AclTransformation.java)

private static final int MAX_ENTRIES = 32;

is set as such.
