Determine file_type for removed files/directory in snapshot change list output

[bradley101]

We are working on the Isilon snapshot change list response and we had some confusion. For any removed file or directory, we are not able to identify if that entry was a file or a directory.

response for file

{
  "atime": {
    "nsec": 0,
    "sec": 1652868637
  },
  "btime": {
    "nsec": 0,
    "sec": 1652868637
  },
  "change_types": [
    "ENTRY_REMOVED",
    "ENTRY_PARENT_REMOVED"
  ],
  "ctime": {
    "nsec": 0,
    "sec": 1652868637
  },
  "data_pool": 3,
  "file_type": "(REMOVED)",
  "gid": 0,
  "id": "2305843078064634944",
  "lin": 4303183812,
  "metadata_pool": 3,
  "mtime": {
    "nsec": 0,
    "sec": 1652868637
  },
  "parent_lin": 4303183810,
  "path": "/d2/d1/d2/file002.bin",
  "physical_size": 75264,
  "size": 20742,
  "uid": 0,
  "user_flags": [
    "inherit",
    "writecache",
    "wcinherit"
  ]
}

response for deleting directory

{
  "atime": {
    "nsec": 0,
    "sec": 1652868637
  },
  "btime": {
    "nsec": 0,
    "sec": 1652868632
  },
  "change_types": [
    "ENTRY_REMOVED",
    "ENTRY_PARENT_REMOVED"
  ],
  "ctime": {
    "nsec": 0,
    "sec": 1652868637
  },
  "data_pool": 2,
  "file_type": "(REMOVED)",
  "gid": 0,
  "id": "2305843078064634912",
  "lin": 4303183810,
  "metadata_pool": 2,
  "mtime": {
    "nsec": 0,
    "sec": 1652868637
  },
  "parent_lin": 4303183809,
  "path": "/d2/d1/d2",
  "physical_size": 34816,
  "size": 290,
  "uid": 0,
  "user_flags": [
    "inherit",
    "writecache",
    "wcinherit"
  ]
}

we want to identify if an entry is for file or directory. How can we do that?
