Raghu Angadi commented on HADOOP-1298: -------------------------------------- Isn't permission checking and locking inefficient? See [comment above|#action_12526538]. So, most of the work is done twice : locking and traversing the tree (note that traversing takes a quite a bit of path and string operations). And strictly speaking, it is not correct. > adding user info to file > ------------------------ > > Key: HADOOP-1298 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-1298 > Project: Hadoop > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: dfs, fs > Reporter: Kurtis Heimerl > Assignee: Christophe Taton > Attachments: 1298_2007-09-22_1.patch, 1298_2007-10-04_1.patch, > 1298_20071206b.patch, hadoop-user-munncha.patch17 > > > I'm working on adding a permissions model to hadoop's DFS.
