Christophe Taton commented on HADOOP-1298:
------------------------------------------

Hi all,

Here is a design question. To my mind, there is mainly two ways to describe 
permissions using the Permission interface:
 - either we store for each file who is allowed to do what on the file; we then 
integrate a Permission field in each INode,
 - or for each principal, we store what the principal is allowed to do; we then 
integrate a Permission field in each Principal (User, Host...).
There might also be a way in-between...
Which way are you thinking about for now?

Christophe T.

> 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.
