Yongjun Zhang commented on HDFS-6165:
-------------------------------------
HI [~daryn],
I looked into callers of checkPermission, there are two other places in
additional to delete operation:
- FSNamesystem.getContentSummary method calls checkPermission with
FsAction.READ_EXECUTE passed to subAccess.
- FSNamesystem.checkSubtreeReadPermission method calls checkPermission with
FsAction.READ passed to subAccess.
so it looks like that we do need the additional parameter.
About the RemoteException, thanks for pointing out that FsShell won't work
correctly with other filesystems with the patch. Since there are so many
filesystems, the scope of change to address mkdir issue will be much more wide.
I'm thinking about handling this in a separate JIRA. What do you guys think?
With rmr fixed, it can serve as a workaround for rmdir issue.
Thanks.

> Given a directory owned by user A with WRITE permission containing an empty
> directory owned by user B, it is not possible to delete user B's empty
> directory with either "hdfs dfs -rm -r" or "hdfs dfs -rmdir". Because the
> current implementation requires FULL permission of the empty directory, and
> throws exception.
> On the other hand, on linux, "rm -r" and "rmdir" command can remove empty
> directory as long as the parent directory has WRITE permission (and prefix
> component of the path have EXECUTE permission), For the tested OSes, some
> prompt user asking for confirmation, some don't.
> Here's a reproduction:
