Allow users with write access to a directory to change ownership of its
subdirectories/files
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HDFS-1113
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-1113
Project: Hadoop HDFS
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: name-node
Environment: All
Reporter: Milind Bhandarkar
Assignee: Sanjay Radia
owner and group of a file/directory, and namespace/diskspace quota for a
directory are mutable attributes. If I have writable access to a directory, say
/team/MyTeam, and if there are subdirectories underneath, such as
/team/MyTeam/TeamMember1, /team/MyTeam/TeamMember2, then I should be able to
chown, chgrp, setQuota, clrQuota on TeamMemeber{1|2} subdirectories. Currently
in HDFS (and in Posix), it requires me to be a superuser to perform these
operations.
