Zhijie Shen updated HADOOP-11254: --------------------------------- Attachment: HADOOP-11254.1.patch Thanks for describing a concrete use case. I've uploaded a simple patch to mark the class \@Public and make getUsers/Groups public, too. > 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 > Attachments: HADOOP-11254.1.patch > > > 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)
