-----------------------------------
Hey Andy,
All the other tests in TestShortCircuitLocalRead cover the single user case, so
we should be good on that front. This test now covers either allowed user and a
dissallowed user, I don't think we'd get any additional coverage from a test
with an allowed user and a disallowed user.
> Allow multiple users for local block readers

> The {{dfs.block.local-path-access.user}} config added in HDFS-2246 only
> supports a single user, however as long as blocks are group readable by more
> than one user the feature could be used by multiple users, to support this we
> just need to allow both to be configured. In practice this allows us to also
> support HBase where the client (RS) runs as the hbase system user and the DN
> runs as hdfs system user. I think this should work secure as well since we're
> not using impersonation in the HBase case.
