> S3A does not persist group information in file metadata.  Instead, it stubs the value of the group to an empty string.  Although the JavaDocs for {{FileStatus#getGroup}} indicate that empty string is a possible return value, this is likely to cause compatibility problems.  Most notably, shell scripts that expect to be able to perform positional parsing on the output of things like {{hadoop fs -ls}} will stop working if retargeted from HDFS to S3A.
