    @huozhanfeng I don't think there's any way to transfer files securely to 
workers right now. Perhaps a mode where the launcher / driver uses HDFS to 
distribute files instead of how it's done today, but that's a different change.
    
    I'm really uncomfortable with this change because of the limitations of 
standalone mode today. If standalone supported running executors as different 
users this would be a lot more palatable.
    
    But if this is blocking you in any way, it seems like it would be possible 
to add this feature to your application without having to modify Spark, if the 
security concerns are not an issue. That way you can have something working for 
you and we have more time to come up with a proper solution for Spark.
