Craig Macdonald commented on HADOOP-3264:
-----------------------------------------
For the set methods, what sort of methods should be designed?
Option 1:
One method that takes a reference to a hdfsFileInfo struct and updates all
details of the path, or the details that are not null.
{code}
int hdfsSetPathInfo(hdfsFS fs, const char* path, hdfsFileInfo* pathinfo);
{code}
Option 2:
Various methods for setting various properties of a file. Of note, there is a
hdfsSetReplication method already.
{code}
int hdfsSetPathOwner(hdfsFS fs, const char* path, char* owner);
int hdfsSetPathGroup(hdfsFS fs, const char* path, char* owner);
int hdfsSetPathPermissions(hdfsFS fs, const char* path, short permissions);
int hdfsSetPathLastMod(hdfsFS fs, const char* path, tTime newtime);
{code}
> libhdfs does not provide permissions in API
