Steve Loughran commented on HADOOP-14935:
-----------------------------------------
OK. So access() is how code should check for permission; and the change whith
HADOOP-14845 is something which you'll turn off for Hive, but which may be used
elsewhere. By making it optional you reduce RPC calls and so increase
performance? Is that the reason? That I can understand.
Like I said, I'll go with Thomas's opinions here: I'm happy, though I'd add
some more detail to the javadoc of the option to explain it, which is something
I Can do during the commit

> FileSystem implementation class for azure i.e. {{NativeAzureFileSystem}} does
> not override {{access(path,mode)}} method and uses the default implementation
> from the base class. This base implementaion uses the POSIX permissions to
> check if the requested user has access to given path or not even when
> authorization is enabled, which is incorrect.
> {{NativeAzureFileSystem.access()}} in authorization enabled mode should use
> the authorization mechanism provided instead of relying on the POSIX
> permission ons. So the proposal is to override {{FileSystem.access()}} method
> in {{NativeAzureFileSystem}} such that it honors the authorization mechanism
> configured in authorization enabled mode and falls back to POSIX permissions
> otherwise.
