Raghu Angadi commented on HADOOP-2381:
--------------------------------------

I forgot to extend Writable inteface for Local FileStatus.

ShellCommand does not have an interface to get to return code. I think it will 
be a useful feature to have. We can throw a subclass of IOException.

> Perhaps we should leave this to a subsequent issue?
yes. Currently listStatus does not use an external command, just File.list(). 
Currently only '-ls' actually looks at these properties for LocalFS. If we find 
more places, we can add optimizations.


> Support permission information in FileStatus
