Eric Yang commented on HDDS-1609:
---------------------------------
{quote}ps: personally I think it's very confusing to use the service user of
Apache HTTPD project by Apache Hadoop project.{quote}
The important fact is to have a reserved service user that doesn't conflict
with normal users. If Ozone consider itself to be more nfs like instead of web
server, we can try to use rpcuser 29 which is commonly used by nfs like
software.
Alternative is to avoid adding "hadoop" user, but everything is owned by root.
This would be ok too because container can still generate data using -u flag to
be in sync with host OS credential.
> Remove hard coded uid from Ozone docker image

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDDS-1609
> Project: Hadoop Distributed Data Store
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Eric Yang
> Priority: Major
>
> Hadoop-runner image is hard coded to [USER
> hadoop|https://github.com/apache/hadoop/blob/docker-hadoop-runner-jdk11/Dockerfile#L45]
> and user hadoop is hard coded to uid 1000. This arrangement complicates
> development environment where host user is different uid from 1000. External
> bind mount locations are written data as uid 1000. This can prevent
> development environment from clean up test data.
> Docker documentation stated that "The best way to prevent
> privilege-escalation attacks from within a container is to configure your
> container’s applications to run as unprivileged users." From Ozone
> architecture point of view, there is no reason to run Ozone daemon to require
> privileged user or hard coded user.
> h3. Solution 1
> It would be best to support running docker container as host user to reduce
> friction. User should be able to run:
> {code}
> docker run -u $(id -u):$(id -g) ...
> {code}
> or in docker-compose file:
> {code}
> user: "${UID}:${GID}"
> {code}
> By doing this, the user will be name less in docker container. Some commands
> may warn that user does not have a name. This can be resolved by mounting
> /etc/passwd or a file that looks like /etc/passwd that contain host user
> entry.
> h3. Solution 2
> Move the hard coded user to range < 200. The default linux profile reserves
> service users < 200 to have umask that keep data private to service user or
> group writable, if service shares group with other service users. Register
> the service user with Linux vendors to ensure that there is a reserved uid
> for Hadoop user or pick one that works for Hadoop. This is a longer route to
> pursuit, and may not be fruitful.
> h3. Solution 3
> Default the docker image to have sssd client installed. This will allow
> docker image to see host level names by binding sssd socket. The instruction
> for doing this is located at in [Hadoop website|
> https://hadoop.apache.org/docs/r3.1.2/hadoop-yarn/hadoop-yarn-site/DockerContainers.html#User_Management_in_Docker_Container].
> The pre-requisites for this approach will require the host level system to
> have sssd installed. For production system, there is a 99% chance that sssd
> is installed.
> We may want to support combined solution of 1 and 3 to be proper.
