[jira] Commented: (HADOOP-1298) adding user info to file

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-1298?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#action_12491851 ] 

Raghu Angadi commented on HADOOP-1298:
--------------------------------------

The patch not include User.java.

Anything you add to each INode is going to increase name node memory by a lot. Make sure that common case where many files and directories that use same permissions will use the same physical object. i.e. memory cost should be close to cost of a reference per INode.

> I'm working on adding a permissions model to hadoop's DFS. The first step is this change, which associates user info with files. Following this I'll assoicate permissions info, then block methods based on that user info, then authorization of the user info. 
> So, right now i've implemented adding user info to files. I'm looking for feedback before I clean this up and make it offical. 
> I wasn't sure what release, i'm working off trunk.
