dhruba borthakur commented on HADOOP-2336:
------------------------------------------
A few generic comments:
1. Maybe it makes more sense to introduce the new class in a separate source
file, e.g. FsShellPermissions.java. This will keep FsShell.java more manageable
in size.
2. The ListPathServlet uses the wrong attribute named "onwer".
3. It might be more robust to handle the default cases in most switch
statements to raise an exception. e.g. in changePermissions().
I am still chewing on the changes to FileStatus.

> Hadoop 0.16 includes file permissions in DFS and we need FsShell to support
> common file permissions related commands :
> - chown
> - chgrp
> - chmod
> Also output from some of the commands like {{ls -l}} will change to reflect
> new file properties. Aim is to make the above commands look like its
> Unix/Linux couterparts. They will of course support only the subset of the
> options.
