Doug Cutting commented on HADOOP-2514:
--------------------------------------
I'm +1 for Sanjay's option 2 for 0.16.
Note I don't beleive this issue should be a blocker, since the existing trash
code will work with a globally writable /trash. So we need to implement option
2 before the freeze.

> Project: Hadoop
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: dfs
> Affects Versions: 0.16.0
> Reporter: Robert Chansler
> Fix For: 0.16.0

>
> Shell command "rm" is really "mv" to trash with the expectation that the
> server will at some point really delete the contents of trash. With the
> advent of permissions, a user can "mv" folders that the user cannot "rm". The
> present trash feature as implemented would allow the user to suborn the
> server into deleting a folder in violation of the permissions model.
> A related issue is that if anybody can mv a folder to the trash anybody else
> can mv that same folder from the trash. This may be contrary to the
> expectations of the user.
> What is a better model for trash?
