Doug Cutting commented on MAPREDUCE-181:
----------------------------------------
> I would be happier, if as part of JobSubmission, we moved the files from the
> user's staging area into the system dir.
Why? It seems to me that we should minimize the JobTracker & TaskTracker's
involvement, so that as much as possible happens in the task, written and read
by the user.
> Secure job submission

> Currently the jobclient accesses the {{mapred.system.dir}} to add job
> details. Hence the {{mapred.system.dir}} has the permissions of
> {{rwx-wx-wx}}. This could be a security loophole where the job files might
> get overwritten/tampered after the job submission.
