--------------------------------
Summary: New FilemgrMetExtractor to extract File System Attributes
Key: OODT-847
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OODT-847
Project: OODT
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: file manager
Affects Versions: 0.8.1
Reporter: Rishi Verma
Assignee: Rishi Verma
Priority: Minor
Fix For: 0.9
It's sometimes useful to extract File System metadata from files that people
often see when browsing a file on an operating system.
Examples:
* POSIX permissions
* Datetime stamps, including: lastModified, creationTime, lastAccessTime
* Is a symbolic file?
* Is a directory?
* File owner
* Is hidden file?
etc.
Java 7's Files.getAttributes [1] does this in a platform-generic way. We should
leverage this and add an extractor for the benefit of the community.
