I tried to change the file permissions. The file resides in HDFS, when I tried to set the permissions as 777 to the certain file, it is giving only read and write permissions whereas it is not giving the execution permission to the file.
This is what I tried:

Can anyone tell me what I did wrong ???
Thanks.
HDFS implements a permissions model for files and directories that has a lot in common with the Portable Operating System Interface (POSIX) model; for example, every file and directory is associated with an owner and a group. The HDFS permissions model supports read (r), write (w), and execute (x). Because there is no concept of file execution within HDFS, the x permission takes on a different meaning. Simply put, the x attribute indicates permission for accessing a child directory of a given parent directory.
