             Summary: Promoting AccessControlList to be public
                 Key: HADOOP-11254
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-11254
             Project: Hadoop Common
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Zhijie Shen
            Assignee: Zhijie Shen


The motivation of promoting AccessControlList to be a public API is to 
facilitate the users to programmatically parse or construct an ACL string. A 
typical use case may be the timeline domain, where we have the client lib to 
accept strings complied with ACL string format to define the authorized 
readers/writers. It will be more convenient and less buggy if users can compose 
this string with AccessControlList.
