Zhijie Shen created HADOOP-11254: ------------------------------------ Summary: Promoting AccessControlList to be public Key: HADOOP-11254 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-11254 Project: Hadoop Common Issue Type: Bug Reporter: Zhijie Shen Assignee: Zhijie Shen
The motivation of promoting AccessControlList to be a public API is to facilitate the users to programmatically parse or construct an ACL string. A typical use case may be the timeline domain, where we have the client lib to accept strings complied with ACL string format to define the authorized readers/writers. It will be more convenient and less buggy if users can compose this string with AccessControlList. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
