We tolerate some level of discussion regarding CDH when the issues look more generic to HBase, like "I use CDH3b4 and the master has this issue". The HBase version they ship isn't patched a lot, so an HBase issue in CDH is mostly likely a real issue.
In your case the question is at the HDFS level and concerns security which isn't in any apache release yet, so it's "special" to cloudera. Also you have better chances to get answers from cloudera people on their own lists :) Hope that helps, J-D On Thu, Mar 17, 2011 at 4:08 PM, Geoff Hendrey <[email protected]> wrote: > Fair.
