--------------------------------------
> I guess you are probably right to put it in FileStatus, instead of
> DFSFileInfo, although some file systems do not support permission. I will

+1 Even though not every implementation supports permissions, our API does, so
putting permissions in FileStatus is appropriate: when an implementation does
support them, one should be able to get all the permissions in a directory
listing w/o making a separate request per file.

> I'm working on adding a permissions model to hadoop's DFS. The first step is
> this change, which associates user info with files. Following this I'll
> assoicate permissions info, then block methods based on that user info, then
> authorization of the user info.
> So, right now i've implemented adding user info to files. I'm looking for
> feedback before I clean this up and make it offical.
> I wasn't sure what release, i'm working off trunk.
