Allen Wittenauer resolved HDFS-1113.
------------------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
There are multiple ways to close this one. Pick your preferred option:
a) Consensus is unlikely to get reached.
b) ACLs and/or extended attributes provide a fix for this issue.
In either case, I'm closing it.

> owner and group of a file/directory, and namespace/diskspace quota for a
> directory are mutable attributes. If I have writable access to a directory,
> say /team/MyTeam, and if there are subdirectories underneath, such as
> /team/MyTeam/TeamMember1, /team/MyTeam/TeamMember2, then I should be able to
> chown, chgrp, setQuota, clrQuota on TeamMemeber{1|2} subdirectories.
> Currently in HDFS (and in Posix), it requires me to be a superuser to perform
> these operations.
