So, not knowing much about LDAP, but being very interested in the multiuser problem on multiuser filesystems, i was excited to see this question.... Im researching the same thing at the moment, and it seems obviated by the fact that :
- the FileSystem API itslef provides implementations for getting group and user names / permissions.... And furthermore - the linux task controllers launch jobs as the user submitting the job, whereas the regular task controllers launch tasksunder the YARN daemon name, iirc. So.... where does LDAP begin and TaskController / FileSystem notions of ownership end.... ? I guess I'm also asking what are the entites which are "ownable" in hadoop app , and how we can leverage the GroupMappingServiceProviders to deploy more flexible hadoop environments. Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.
