Raghu Angadi commented on HADOOP-1298: -------------------------------------- bq. Only a rough one at this point. The idea is that the client submits an authorization ticket along with each job, then the tasktracker uses that ticket when accessing the filesystem. Folks who are serious will use something like Kerberos, which is well suited. By default, the ticket will just be a username, with no authentication. This outline matches what I was thinking. I will file another jira. I could look into the changes required. > adding user info to file > ------------------------ > > Key: HADOOP-1298 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-1298 > Project: Hadoop > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: dfs, fs > Reporter: Kurtis Heimerl > Assignee: Christophe Taton > Fix For: 0.15.0 > > Attachments: 1298_2007-09-06b.patch, 1298_2007-09-07g.patch, > hadoop-user-munncha.patch17 > > > I'm working on adding a permissions model to hadoop's DFS.
