Jonathan Eagles commented on HADOOP-15337:
------------------------------------------
It tested the nio implementation and found that in addition to not shelling
out, it also was 5 times faster to get file permissions on linux.
> RawLocalFileSystem file status permissions can avoid shelling out in some
> cases

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-15337
> Project: Hadoop Common
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Jonathan Eagles
> Assignee: Jonathan Eagles
> Priority: Major
>
> While investigating YARN-8054, it was noticed that getting file permissions
> for RawLocalFileSystem can fail by having too many files open. Upon
> inspection this happens when getting permissions by launching a shell program
> (ls -ld on linux) and parsing the results. With the introduction of java 7
> posix file systems can accurately get file permissions without launching a
> shell program.
