Description

The HDFS ACL shell commands have at least one usage of the standard Java toString method to generate shell output (AclEntry#toString). This issue tracks conversion of that code to use methods other than toString. The toString method is useful primarily for debugging. It's preferrable to use a different method to ensure stable output for public interfaces, such as the shell.
