Only these two - or you don't really care about permissions ? > I read the HDFS Shell User guide that tells about *chmod, chown, chgrp* > commands. > But I don't want to change users and groups. > Can someone Please help me to achieve this or it is possible in HDFS or not. If I guess right that you want to restrict access to super-user and two other users alone, but not all users, there's probably no easy way out other than creating a new group with those two users and giving that group permissions. HDFS permissions aren't fine-grained like ACLs which can grant access to specific users irrespective of their group membership. Thanks Hemanth > > Thanks and Regards > Adarsh Sharma >
