Yes, it is easy to work around the security in Hadoop. It is only intended to prevent accidents, such as the time a student accidently wiped out the entire class' home directories.
If not, I have to go for other measures like firewalls, etc. But if something is available in Hadoop itself, it would be great.
You currently need firewalls to protect Hadoop. There is work underway to add real authentication to Hadoop, which enable real security.
