Sanjay M Pujare commented on APEXCORE-733:
------------------------------------------
[~PramodSSImmaneni] This is the proposed implementation. Pls confirm:
We will implement a new property called apex.dfsRootDirectory that will be used
to determine the run-time "application path" of an Apex application. The new
apex.dfsRootDirectory property will be used as follows:
- the Apex Client code will check if apex.dfsRootDirectory is defined; if not
it will fall back to using dt.dfsRootDirectory as now. Let's call this value as
Apex-root-dir in the below steps. Only when Apex-root-dir value is derived from
apex.dfsRootDirectory the new logic kicks in (otherwise the existing logic
stays).
- if Apex-root-dir value is an absolute path then it will scan for %USER_NAME%
in that string and replace it with the user's name, otherwise it will use the
absolute path as it is.
- if Apex-root-dir value is a relative path then it will be appended to the
user's home directory.
- if Apex-root-dir is null (i.e. apex.dfsRootDirectory not defined) then the
path will be derived by appending apex to the user's home directory (e.g.
/user/testuser/apex).
In the above steps a "user" refers to either impersonating or impersonated user
depending on the new option defined in this feature. The new option we will use
is apex.application.path.impersonated . If true we will use the impersonated
user to derive the application path else impersonating user.

> When an application is launched using impersonation, the impersonating user's
> hdfs home folder is used to store application resources such as the jars
> needed to launch the application and post launch checkpoints, tuple recording
> etc.
> In some scenarios this is not desirable as the impersonated user needs to
> have access to the impersonating user's folders. We need the ability to be
> able to use the impersonated user's home folder in these cases.
