---------------------------------
Do you mean authentication or authorization?
> Introduce a api to check if authorization is supported by the FS
> ----------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: HADOOP-9554
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-9554
> Project: Hadoop Common
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: samar
>
> Need a new api on the FileSystem like isAuthorizationSupoorted() which would
> help us to identify if we need to check for authorization. Hence, if
> isAuthorizationSupoorted() == true and then only would proceed with the
> ownership check. This is required because some FS like S3 does not support
> Authorization and returns owners as "" . Having this check will help us skip
> the owner check
