             Summary: LocalFS to support ability to disable permission get/set; 
remove need for winutils
                 Key: HADOOP-17839
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-17839
             Project: Hadoop Common
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: fs
    Affects Versions: 3.3.1
            Reporter: Steve Loughran



Setting FS permissions on windows has always been a paint point for people 
running spark standalone, creating files through localFS required WINUTILS.EX 
To do this

I'm seeing some other demand for disabling setting permissions, primarily 
because if you mount storage (including azure storage) to a VM, you cant call 
setPermissions; things fail. 

Proposed: 
1. we add an option to disable permission setting
2. we add a path capability, which for hdfs, abfs is always true (not sure 
about wasb as it varies on file vs dir)
3. we add the option to turn off permission get/set for RawLocalFileSystem and 
downgrade to a no-op on write, ug+rw on read (or even make configurable?)

(Distcp should maybe probe the path and downgrade -p options if the dest store 
doesn't do perms properly, which argues for wasb to return true, so file perms 
are set)
