Hi Steve,
A normally-written client program would work normally on both
permissions and no-permissions clusters. There is no concept of a
"password" for users in Apache Hadoop as of yet, unless you're dealing
with a specific cluster that has custom-implemented it.
Setting a specific user is not the right way to go. In secure and
non-secure environments both, the user is automatically inferred by
the user actually running the JVM process - its better to simply rely
on this.
An AccessControlException occurs when a program tries to write or
alter a defined path where it lacks permission. To bypass this, the
HDFS administrator needs to grant you access to such defined paths,
rather than you having to work around that problem.
