Aditya Dhulipala commented on OODT-847:
---------------------------------------
Hi Rishi,
Would this patch require us to add keys such as isDir, isHidden,
POSIXPermissions, etc etc to the filemgr/metadata/CoreMetKeys.java file and
corresponding implementation inside doExtract() under CoreMetExtractor.java?
I'm a student and I'd like to contribute code to OODT. Can I work on the patch?
Thanks!
> New FilemgrMetExtractor to extract File System Attributes

> Key: OODT-847
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OODT-847
> Project: OODT

> Components: file manager
> Affects Versions: 0.8.1
> Reporter: Rishi Verma

> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 0.10

>
> 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.
