Arpit Agarwal commented on HADOOP-8973:
---------------------------------------
+1
This patch works for functional parity with Linux/OSX.
I don't see a reason to keep the second overload of checkDir. As long as the
check is performed by the DataNode process, Chris's approach is simple and
portable across all permission schemes. We should file a separate Jira to
address the overload.

> DiskChecker.checkDir uses File.canRead, File.canWrite, and File.canExecute to
> check if a directory is inaccessible. These APIs are not reliable on Windows
> with NTFS ACLs due to a known JVM bug.
