---------------------------------------------------
Summary: Why not re-use the security model offered by SELINUX?
Key: HADOOP-11747
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-11747
Project: Hadoop Common
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Madhan Sundararajan Devaki
Priority: Critical
SELINUX was introduced to bring in a robust security management in Linux OS.
In all installations of Hadoop (Cloudera/Hortonworks/...) one of the
pre-installation checklist items is to disable SELINUX in all the nodes of the
cluster.
Why not re-use the security model offered by SELINUX setting instead of
re-inventing from scratch through Sentry/Knox/etc...?
