Allen Wittenauer commented on HADOOP-9902:
------------------------------------------
Ran across an interesting discrepancy. hadoop-env.sh says:
{code}
# A string representing this instance of hadoop. $USER by default.
export HADOOP_IDENT_STRING=$USER
{code}
This implies that could be something that isn't a user. However...
{code}
chown $HADOOP_IDENT_STRING $HADOOP_LOG_DIR
{code}
... we clearly have that assumption. Since the chown has already been removed
from the new code, this problem goes away. But should we explicitly state that
HADOOP_IDENT_STRING needs to be a user? Is anyone aware of anything else that
uses this outside of the Hadoop shell scripts?
