Konstantin Shvachko commented on HADOOP-2659: --------------------------------------------- - renewLease() does not seem to be ab admin command. - distributedUpgradeProgress() is called by DFSAdmin and by JspHelper. In the DFSAdmin case it should be protected, but web UI does not need to have have super-user privileges. For consistency I would propose just to treat this operation available to all users in all cases. I do not see how knowing the upgrade stage can threaten the system security. Or does it? - I'd prefer a full name checkSuperuserPermissions() instead of checkIsSuper(). - import of FSConstants.SafeModeAction is redundant because FSNamesystem inherits FSConstants. > The commands in DFSAdmin should require admin privilege > ------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-2659 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-2659 > Project: Hadoop > Issue Type: Bug > Components: dfs > Reporter: Tsz Wo (Nicholas), SZE > Assignee: Tsz Wo (Nicholas), SZE > Attachments: 2659_20080118.patch > > > The commands in DFSAdmin and the corresponding RPC calls should require admin > privilege. > DFSAdmin commands: > -report > -safemode > -refreshNodes > -finalizeUpgrade > -upgradeProgress > -metasave > ClientProtocol: > {code} > public void renewLease(String clientName) throws IOException; > public long[] getStats() throws IOException; > public DatanodeInfo[] getDatanodeReport(FSConstants.DatanodeReportType type) > throws IOException; > public boolean setSafeMode(FSConstants.SafeModeAction action) throws > IOException; > public void refreshNodes() throws IOException; > public void finalizeUpgrade() throws IOException; > public UpgradeStatusReport distributedUpgradeProgress(UpgradeAction action) > throws IOException; > public void metaSave(String filename) throws IOException; > {code} -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
