Review request for Falcon and Venkat Ranganathan.


Bugs: falcon-1647
    https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/falcon-1647


Repository: falcon-git


Description
-------

Submit a cluster entity as user "user1", schedule a feed entity as "user1". Now 
submit and schedule a feed entity as "user2" and feed submission can fail with 
the following error

Caused by: 
org.apache.hadoop.ipc.RemoteException(org.apache.hadoop.security.AccessControlException):
 Permission denied: user=user2, access=WRITE, 
inode="/apps/falcon-user1/staging/falcon/workflows/feed":user1:falcon:drwxr-xr-x
   at 
org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.server.namenode.FSPermissionChecker.checkFsPermission(FSPermissionChecker.java:271)

org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.server.namenode.FSPermissionChecker.check(FSPermissionChecker.java:257)
   at 
org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.server.namenode.FSPermissionChecker.check(FSPermissionChecker.java:238)
   
This is caused because Falcon creates <staging_dir>/falcon/workflows/feed and 
<staging_dir>/falcon/workflows/process only when a feed/process entity are 
scheduled. The owner of these dirs is the user scheduling the entity. The 
permissions are based on the default umask of the FS. If a new feed/process 
entity are being scheduled by a different user, things can fail.
Solution is to make <staging_dir>/falcon/workflows/feed and 
<staging_dir>/falcon/workflows/process owned by Falcon with permissions 777.
