Uma Maheswara Rao G commented on HADOOP-7210:
---------------------------------------------
Based on the passed arguments, it is creating the Handlers. when argument is
-chown, it is creating ChownHandler.
{code}
else if (cmd.equals("-chown")) {
handler = new ChownHandler(argv[startIndex++]);
{code}
But here the problem is, it is not populating owner, group values in this
constructor. just it is calling supper. It is not populating the group, owner.
{code}
protected ChownHandler(String cmd) { //for chgrp
super(cmd);
}
{code}
Since it is not populating, setOwner will not be invoked on fileSystem.So
permissions will not change.
{code}
if (newOwner != null || newGroup != null) {
try {
srcFs.setOwner(file.getPath(), newOwner, newGroup);
{code}
> Chown command is not working from FSShell.
