Andrew Psaltis updated NIFI-3534:
---------------------------------
Description: When using the HDFS processors, specifically PutHDFS there are
times when a user wants to act as a remote 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, the NiFi HDFS processors will then use this remote user
for all HDFS activities and the permission checks will be done in Hadoop land.
