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. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.15#6346)
