Allow setting permissions on links
----------------------------------
Key: HDFS-948
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-948
Project: Hadoop HDFS
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: hdfs client, name-node
Reporter: Eli Collins
Priority: Minor
In HDFS-245 symlink permissions are ignored, access to a symlink is determined
by the permissions of the symlink target. FileContext#setPermission and
setOwner work like {{chmod}} and {{chown}}, symlinks are fully resolved. This
jira is for adding FileContext#setLinkOwner and friends, ie a {{lchown}} (IEEE
1003.1) equivalent. The motivation is to allow an admin to create a link in a
directory that users can write but disallow them from deleting the link.
