Raghu Angadi commented on HADOOP-2288:
--------------------------------------
Are we not borrowing unixism whenever it makes sense? Advantage is that not
many need big explanations and its a great tie-breaker if there are minor
difference of opinion about interface e.g.
# {{setUserOwner(path, user)}} would become {{chown(path, user, group)}}.
# {{setGroupOwner()}} is not needed.
# we need {{chmod()}}. not sure if it replaces {{setPermission()}}, may be it
should.
> Change FileSystem API to support access control.
