Aaron T. Myers commented on HDFS-4230:
--------------------------------------
I think we should probably make listing all the snapshottable directories in
the FS a super-user only privilege, since there may be snapshottable
directories that ordinary users are not even aware exist, and whose existence
they should not be able to know about. I also think we should probably add the
getSnapshottableDirListing API to the HdfsAdmin class, so that users writing
programs against HDFS that use/list snapshots will have a public API they can
use.
