Charles Lamb commented on HDFS-6375:
------------------------------------
Alternatively, we could just look at the permissions and only return the names
(or names + values) based on the permissions that the caller has.
> Listing extended attributes with the search permission

> Key: HDFS-6375
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-6375
> Project: Hadoop HDFS
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Components: namenode
> Affects Versions: HDFS XAttrs (HDFS-2006)
> Reporter: Andrew Wang
> Assignee: Charles Lamb
>
> From the attr(5) manpage:
> {noformat}
> Users with search access to a file or directory may retrieve a list of
> attribute names defined for that file or directory.
> {noformat}
> This is like doing {{getfattr}} without the {{-d}} flag, which we currently
> don't support.
