Hairong Kuang commented on HADOOP-2652:
---------------------------------------
1. HftpFileSystem.initialize should throw a LoginException when login failed.
Otherwise, A NullPointerException might be thrown when a URL is constructed.
2. ListPathsServlet and FileDataServlet talks to namenode through RPC not by
direct method call. Shall we concern about the performance?
3. ListPathsServlet.writeInfo should also write a path's permission-related
info back to the client.
4, For secondary namenode communication, I think it is better to check the user
in getFileServer and getInfoServer. This means that these two methods can not
be static.
5. Can we also enforce user checking for NamenodeProtocol?
6. The patch passes the user info to StreamFile servlets but the user info is
not used. Since currently dfs does not check user authorization for client to
datanode communications, I feel it is better to do it later on.
