Ivan Mitic commented on HADOOP-8457:
------------------------------------
Sanjay, apologies for the late response.
Correct, both 1 and 2 have been explored in this Jira. Problem with #1 is that
there are many different contexts in which files can be created (and have
incorrect default ownership):
- RawLocalFileSystem
- Output redirection 1>>file1 2>>file2
- Direct use of File objects
We would have to address all such places appropriately. This is why I like
approach #2 better. Let me know what you think.
Thanks!

> On Linux, the initial file owners are the creators. (I think this is true in
> general. If there are exceptions, please let me know.) On Windows, the file
> created by a user in the Administrators group has the initial owner
> ‘Administrators’, i.e. the the Administrators group is the initial owner of
> the file. As a result, this leads to an exception when we check file
> ownership in SecureIOUtils .checkStat() method. As a result, this method is
> disabled right now. We need to address this problem and enable the method on
> Windows.
