[jira] [Commented] (HADOOP-9646) Inconsistent exception
specifications in FileUtils#chmod
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-9646?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13703762#comment-13703762 ]
Colin Patrick McCabe commented on HADOOP-9646:
----------------------------------------------
Hi Karthik, Suresh,
I think everyone wants this to go in, right? Both you guys gave this a +1 earlier.
I think if we have wider points to make about compatibility, we should do it in a mailing list thread or another JIRA. It's kind of out of scope for this, since it's just a small change.
Can I get a +1 on this to make it official?

> Key: HADOOP-9646
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-9646
> Project: Hadoop Common
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Colin Patrick McCabe
> Assignee: Colin Patrick McCabe

> There are two FileUtils#chmod methods:
> {code}
> public static int chmod(String filename, String perm
> ) throws IOException, InterruptedException;
> public static int chmod(String filename, String perm, boolean recursive)
> throws IOException;
> {code}
> The first one just calls the second one with {{recursive = false}}, but despite that it is declared as throwing {{InterruptedException}}, something the second one doesn't declare.
> The new Java7 chmod API, which we will transition to once JDK6 support is dropped, does *not* throw {{InterruptedException}}
> See [http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/nio/file/Files.html#setOwner(java.nio.file.Path, java.nio.file.attribute.UserPrincipal)]
> So we should make these consistent by removing the {{InterruptedException}}
