Hi [~apsaltis] & [~jtstorck],
Any progress on this issue ? It would be helpful if merged at the earliest.
> Add support for using a remoteUser 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
> Priority: Major
>
> 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.
