Steve Loughran commented on HADOOP-8847:
----------------------------------------
that code snippet shows that the dest dir perms are setup -but doesn't touch
the contents of the files itself. If someone needs x permissions on binaries
there then there's a regression risk here -which is what Robert sounds like
he's going to hit
> Change untar to use Java API instead of spawning tar process

> Currently FileUtil.unTar() spawns tar utility to do the work. Tar may not be
> present on all platforms by default eg. Windows. So changing this to use JAVA
> API's would help make it more cross-platform. FileUtil.unZip() uses the same
> approach.
