Description
Gobblin safeSetPathPermission does not throw an exception when setting permissions fail on a path. We want to change this behavior especially for use cases like manifest distcp where hundreds of thousands of files are involved in a distcp job and permission settings are important to replicate correctly as they cannot be updated or verified by hand.
This PR adds a new configuration to fail writing or publishing tasks when the job is configured to report success when permissions are not replicated properly. The default behavior remains the same as before to allow the job to succeed without this for backwards compatibility.
