---------------------------------------
Hi Rishi,
I've been going through the patch and looking into the way CoreMetExtractor has
been implemented.
As far as the extractor itself is concerned, the patch has implemented the
basic method - what's left is to finish the doConfigure() method and write the
test cases, right?
> 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.
