Christophe Taton commented on HADOOP-1298:
------------------------------------------
This list sounds about right to my mind also. I think we can postpone groups
implementation for now, unless someone requires it immediately.
The current implementation lets entities work as root; to enforce
compatibility, default permissions are 0777, and files are owned by root.
I am adding the Unix UID to be the ID used to issue DFS requests. This way,
users are represented by IDs and IDs management is handled outside Hadoop by
the underlying Unix.

> I'm working on adding a permissions model to hadoop's DFS. The first step is
> this change, which associates user info with files. Following this I'll
> assoicate permissions info, then block methods based on that user info, then
> authorization of the user info.
> So, right now i've implemented adding user info to files. I'm looking for
> feedback before I clean this up and make it offical.
> I wasn't sure what release, i'm working off trunk.
