Owen O'Malley commented on HADOOP-3578:
---------------------------------------
I'd propose making the submit directory local to each user.
{code}
~/.submit/$jobid
{code}
I think it would simplify things a lot, especially since the job tracker
already has the user's hdfs credentials. Note that this should likely be in the
system directory's file system...
> mapred.system.dir should be accessible only to hadoop daemons

> Currently the jobclient accesses the {{mapred.system.dir}} to add job
> details. Hence the {{mapred.system.dir}} has the permissions of
> {{rwx-wx-wx}}. This could be a security loophole where the job files might
> get overwritten/tampered after the job submission.
