[jira] [Created] (HDFS-5739) ACL RPC must allow null name or null permissions in ACL entries.

Chris Nauroth created HDFS-5739:
-----------------------------------

             Summary: ACL RPC must allow null name or null permissions in ACL entries.
                 Key: HDFS-5739
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-5739
             Project: Hadoop HDFS
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: hdfs-client, namenode
    Affects Versions: HDFS ACLs (HDFS-4685)
            Reporter: Chris Nauroth
            Assignee: Chris Nauroth


Currently, the ACL RPC defines ACL entries with required fields for name and permissions.  These fields actually need to be optional.  The name can be null to represent unnamed ACL entries, such as the file owner or mask.  Permissions can be null when passed in an ACL spec to remove ACL entries via {{FileSystem#removeAclEntries}}.
