Raghu Angadi commented on HADOOP-1919:
--------------------------------------

Can some one run custom perl modules in Jetty?

As I understand, the localhost restriction is used so that someone can run some 
other http server on external interfaces. At that time I was asked to help from 
HDFS side for the proposed solution to work. W.r.t HDFS, it looks ok. Regd 
distcp(), obviously we can not have security of any form if distcp does not 
support it. So I guess if some one has to choose one of them, they might choose 
security depending on sensitivity of the data.
