> This check will fail on Windows when the underlying file system is LocalFileSystem. Because on Windows, the default file or directory owner could be "Administrators" group if the user belongs to "Administrators" group.
> Quite a few MR unit tests that runs MR mini cluster with localFs as underlying file system fail because of this.
