Description

I have been unable to get prefix ACL's to work. (They are listed as an object type here: https://ozone.apache.org/docs/1.3.0/security/securityacls.html )  Because they are undocumented I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong or if they are just broken.

It doesn't seem like anybody uses them, so it is fine with me if we just deprecate them.

The only reason they came up is because I was adding support for native ACL's to snapshotting.  I noticed them in the code and thought I should make sure they work for snapshots as well.  But if no one is using them I won't bother.

FYI:  Here is how I tried to get them to work:
