                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-1113
             Project: Hadoop HDFS
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: name-node
         Environment: All

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.
