Ravi Gummadi commented on HADOOP-6715: -------------------------------------- Right Hemanth. People wouldn't expect toString() to give serialized string of object. We can have our own messages in it. Will modify AccessControlList.toString() itself to give "ALL USERS" and "NONE" for "\*" and empty acl cases. > AccessControlList.toString() returns empty string when we set acl to "*" > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: HADOOP-6715 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-6715 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: Bug > Components: security, util > Reporter: Ravi Gummadi > Assignee: Ravi Gummadi > > AccessControlList.toString() returns empty string when we set the acl to "\*" > and also when we set it to empty(i.e. " ").
