Raghu Angadi commented on HADOOP-2528: -------------------------------------- What is the need to check for permissions? Is it to fail early or is there some other fundamental requirement? I think weather a given user can write to a file or directory is pretty filesystem dependent (e.g. an FS might be configured to allows users belonging to a special groups to have universal permissions, etc). > check permissions for job inputs and outputs > -------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-2528 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-2528 > Project: Hadoop > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: mapred > Reporter: Doug Cutting > Fix For: 0.16.0 > > Attachments: HADOOP-2528-0.patch > > > On job submission, filesystem permissions should be checked to ensure that > the input directory is readable and that the output directory is writable. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
