Doug Cutting commented on HADOOP-2381:
--------------------------------------
So the question is what to do if a lazy implementation of file status tries to
fetch the permissions for a file that's been deleted since the FileStatus was
created? I guess returning the default values in this case would be
reasonable. So if you're listing a directory while someone is deleting it, the
permissions will be displayed incorrectly, but the listing program won't crash.
