-----------------------------------
Summary: Document types of permission checks performed for HDFS
operations.
Key: HDFS-9552
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-9552
Project: Hadoop HDFS
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: documentation
Reporter: Chris Nauroth
Assignee: Chris Nauroth
The HDFS permissions guide discusses our use of a POSIX-like model with read,
write and execute permissions associated with users, groups and the catch-all
other class. However, there is no documentation that describes exactly what
permission checks are performed by user-facing HDFS operations. This is a
frequent source of questions, so it would be good to document this.
