Yep. I appreciate the info. Thanks. I wish I didn't have to use CDH, but I was basically advised on this list that upgrading to CDH3 was a good option (if not my best bet) to prevent the "data loss" that the HBase admin page warns about.

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.
