Help with HDFS Linux permission

Hi,

I am unable to change the permissions for a directory in HDFS.
from what i understand acl's supersede all other permissions. even if a directory is not owned by me, but there is an acl for me with rwx then i must be able to change the permissions of that directory.

Please find the permissions and the error i get when changing.

Code:
desind@test:~#> hdfs dfs -ls -d /adhoc/desind
drwxrwx---+  - hdfs supergroup          0 2017-04-17 15:01 /adhoc/desind

desind@test:~#> hdfs dfs -getfacl /adhoc/desind
# file: /adhoc/desind
# owner: hdfs
# group: supergroup
user::rwx
user:desind:rwx
group::---
mask::rwx
other::---

desind@test:~#> hdfs dfs -ls /adhoc/desind
Found 3 items
drwxrwxrwt+  - hdfs   supergroup          0 2017-04-17 14:37 /adhoc/desind/.Trash
-rw-rw----   3 desind supergroup          0 2017-04-17 14:50 /adhoc/desind/test.txt
-rw-rw----   3 desind supergroup          0 2017-04-17 15:01 /adhoc/desind/test1.txt



desind@test:~#> hdfs dfs -chmod 777 /adhoc/desind
chmod: changing permissions of '/adhoc/desind': Permission denied. user=desind is not the owner of inode=desind
