             Summary: Blueprints not setting correct defaults for HDFS 
proxyuser group settings
                 Key: AMBARI-14026
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AMBARI-14026
             Project: Ambari
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: ambari-server
    Affects Versions: 2.1.0
            Reporter: Robert Nettleton
            Assignee: Robert Nettleton
            Priority: Critical
             Fix For: 2.1.3


The Ambari server handling of proxyuser settings has been updated in the UI's 
handling of cluster configuration to use the "*" setting for the default group.

Since the Blueprint configuration processor still handles configuration 
separately in some respects, this default is now handled differently for the 
most part in Blueprints, as the Blueprint processor will still set the default 
to be "users".  

For example, the Blueprint processor currently sets the Hive-specific proxyuser 
group property to:

"hadoop.proxyuser.hive.groups" : "users",

The Blueprint processor should be updated, such that the default is now "*" for 
this property, and for all other service-specific proxyuser.*.groups properties 
in core-site.xml.  

Since not all environments include the "users" group, the "*" group is a more 
valid default value for this property.  This change will also bring the 
Blueprint processor more closely in-line with the behavior of the UI, and so 
making the configuration more consistent across both options. 

I'm working on a fix for this, and will be submitting a patch shortly.
