------------------------------------
Summary: Add support for impersonating a user with HDFS processors
Key: NIFI-3534
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-3534
Project: Apache NiFi
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Andrew Psaltis
Assignee: Andrew Psaltis
When using the HDFS processors, specifically PutHDFS there are times when a
user wants to impersonate a user so that the files written to HDFS are done as
the remote user. In cases where Kerberos is not used, this is not possible.
Currently there is the ability for NiFi to change the permissions using the
Remote Owner and Remote Group, however, this only works if NiFi is running as a
user that has HDFS super user privilege. By providing the ability to set a
Remote User, NiFi can then impersonate the user and the permission checks will
be done in Hadoop land.
