Rishi Verma commented on OODT-847:
----------------------------------
Hi Aditya,
I'm aiming to keep this extractor modular, and available to use, but not part
of CoreMetKeys. The reason being, we want to keep CoreMetKeys minimal, and
allow the user to specify additional extractors as necessary.
> I'm a student and I'd like to contribute code to OODT. Can I work on the
> patch?
Great! I have a basic patch I made, which I'll upload to this JIRA. Could you
build off this?
Thanks very much Aditya,
Rishi
> 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: 0.10
>
> Attachments: FileAttributesExtractor.java
>
>
> 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.
