Description

HADOOP-6715 is created to fix AccessControlList.toString() for the case of WILDCARD. JobStatus.write() and readFields() assume that toString() returns the serialized String of AccessControlList object, which is not true. Once HADOOP-6715 gets fixed in COMMON, JobStatus.write() and JobStatus.readFields() should be fixed depending on the fix of HADOOP-6715.
