Chen Liang commented on HDFS-11557:
-----------------------------------
Hi [~dmtucker],
After checking into the code, it turns out that if the use is a super user, the
code will simply bypass the permission check. So I wonder does this issue
happen if the user is not a super user?
> Empty directories may be recursively deleted without being listable

> Key: HDFS-11557
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-11557
> Project: Hadoop HDFS
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: hdfs
> Affects Versions: 2.7.3
> Reporter: David Tucker
> Assignee: Chen Liang
>
> To reproduce, create a directory without read and/or execute permissions
> (i.e. 0666, 0333, or 0222), then call delete on it with can_recurse=True.
> Note that the delete succeeds even though the client is unable to check for
> emptiness and, therefore, cannot otherwise know that any/all children are
> deletable.
