The inconsistency may lead to some undesirable behaviors: ls may return 777 on
a har:// path but some user actually cannot access it because the permission on
the part file is different. Users definitely will be confused.

I think it is very useful to store the information, which can possibly be used
in untar, but ls should return the meta data from the part files in order to
avoid inconsistency.

>
> Files inside hadoop archives don't keep their original:
> - modification time
> - access time
> - permission
> - owner
> - group
> all such properties are currently taken from the file storing the archive
> index, and not the stored files. This doesn't look very correct.
> There should be possible to preserve the original properties of the stored
> files.
