Tom White commented on HADOOP-1298: ----------------------------------- Point 2. could also been done with enums in a more typesafe manner with something like public enum Permission { OWNER_READ, OWNER_WRITE, GROUP_READ, GROUP_WRITE, OTHER_READ, OTHER_WRITE } FileStatus status = new FileStatus(Path, user, group, EnumSet.allOf(Permission.class); FileStatus status = new FileStatus(Path, user, group, EnumSet.of(OWNER_READ, OWNER_WRITE, GROUP_READ)); We could also define constants for OWNER_RW etc and PERMIT_ALL as EnumSets if desired. > adding user info to file > ------------------------ > > Key: HADOOP-1298 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-1298 > Project: Hadoop > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: dfs, fs > Reporter: Kurtis Heimerl > Attachments: hadoop-user-munncha.patch, hadoop-user-munncha.patch, > hadoop-user-munncha.patch, hadoop-user-munncha.patch4, > hadoop-user-munncha.patch5, hadoop-user-munncha.patch6, > hadoop-user-munncha.patch7 > > > I'm working on adding a permissions model to hadoop's DFS.
