Aaron T. Myers commented on HDFS-3000:
--------------------------------------
bq. If you cannot easily find an counterexample, does it qualify for "quite
specific"?
I didn't say I couldn't find one - I said I didn't know. My not knowing if such
things are common doesn't necessarily mean they're not. :)
bq. No. There are many values that users can read but not update, e.g.
hostname, other network configurations, home directory, etc.
That seems reasonable to me. A separate administrative interface it is, then.
I'll work on a patch for it.
