Kurtis Heimerl commented on HADOOP-1298:
----------------------------------------

I'll go through those in order. 

I think the first is a valid point. I think the problem is in the existing API 
though. I don't need the array of file listings either though, and grabbing the 
0th one seems like a hack. I also think opening the file seems to heavy-weight. 

Second-> Why? We could move rename, delete, exists and a bunch of other methods 
under one header as well, but it just confuses the code. Since these will need 
to be multiplexed at a lower level, why not keep the code path clean and 
obvious?

3-> again, why? If we're going to do that, we can move most of the methods like 
that. 

4-> will do

5-> good point. I'll look at that too.

> I'm working on adding a permissions model to hadoop's DFS. The first step is 
> this change, which associates user info with files. Following this I'll 
> assoicate permissions info, then block methods based on that user info, then 
> authorization of the user info. 
> So, right now i've implemented adding user info to files. I'm looking for 
> feedback before I clean this up and make it offical. 
> I wasn't sure what release, i'm working off trunk.
