Description

Need a new api on the FileSystem like isAuthorizationSupoorted() which would help us to identify if we need to check for authorization. Hence, if isAuthorizationSupoorted() == true and then only would proceed with the ownership check. This is required because some FS like S3 does not support Authorization and returns owners as "" . Having this check will help us skip the owner check
