Haohui Mai commented on HDFS-5650:
----------------------------------
AclStatus defines the wire protocol that used by the FileSystem, while HDFS
might have a dramatically different implementation.
I think it is okay to go with the current approach, and to revisit it when we
start to implement the logic in the NameNode.
> Remove AclReadFlag and AclWriteFlag in FileSystem API

> AclReadFlag and AclWriteFlag intended to capture various options used in
> getfacl and setfacl. These options determine whether the tool should traverse
> the filesystem recursively, follow the symlink, etc., but they are not part
> of the core ACLs abstractions.
> The client program has more information and more flexibility to implement
> these options. This jira proposes to remove these flags to simplify the APIs.
