Chris Nauroth updated HADOOP-8973:

    Attachment: HADOOP-8973-branch-trunk-win.2.patch

I'm attaching an updated patch.

We should skip this call on Windows if it is known to be broken.

Each check in the new patch now has this form: if (Windows) then do special check else do File.canRead/canWrite/canExecute, so we bypass the broken File APIs on Windows but still use them on Linux where they are known to work correctly.

Does this change the current directory of the calling process?

I added a comment explaining that it launches a separate process and does not change the working directory of the current process.

Thanks!

> DiskChecker.checkDir uses File.canRead, File.canWrite, and File.canExecute to check if a directory is inaccessible.  These APIs are not reliable on Windows with NTFS ACLs due to a known JVM bug.
