bb created ARROW-6756:
-------------------------
Summary: Include HDFS `getfacl` in `pyarrow.hdfs.HadoopFileSystem`
Key: ARROW-6756
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-6756
Project: Apache Arrow
Issue Type: Wish
Components: Python
Affects Versions: 0.13.0
Reporter: bb
Extended HDFS filesystem attributes such as role-based access through
Cloudera's Sentry are exposed through the `getfacl` command.
It would be immensely help to have this exposed through the
`pyarrow.hdfs.HadoopFileSystem`.
Link to the official Hadoop docs where this is discussed in more detail:
[https://hadoop.apache.org/docs/current/hadoop-project-dist/hadoop-common/FileSystemShell.html#getfacl]
Sample output from the *nix shell:
```$ hadoop fs -getfacl /path/to/hdfs/dir
# file: /path/to/hdfs/dir
# owner: hive
# group: hive
user::rwx
group:unix_group_with_acl_privs_defined:rwx
group::---
user:hive:rwx
group:hive:rwx
mask::rwx
other::--x```
