Raghu Angadi commented on HADOOP-2528:
--------------------------------------

What is the need to check for permissions? Is it to fail early or is there some 
other fundamental requirement? I think weather a given user can write to a file 
or directory is pretty filesystem dependent (e.g. an FS might be configured to 
allows users belonging to a special groups to have universal permissions, etc).
