Hi Asaf,

The user who run SparkContext is decided by the below code in SparkContext, 
normally this user.name is the user who started JVM, you can start your 
application with -Duser.name=xxx to specify a username you want, this specified 
username will be the user to communicate with HDFS.

 val sparkUser = Option {
    
Option(System.getProperty("user.name")).getOrElse(System.getenv("SPARK_USER"))
  }.getOrElse {
    SparkContext.SPARK_UNKNOWN_USER
  }

Thanks
Jerry

Subject: Executing spark jobs with predefined Hadoop user

Hi,
We are using Spark with data files on HDFS. The files are stored as files for 
predefined hadoop user ("hdfs").
The folder is permitted with
*         read write, executable and read permission for the hdfs user
*         executable and read permission for users in the group
*         just read permission for all other users

now the Spark write operation fails, due to a user mismatch of the spark 
context and the Hadoop user permission.
Is there a way to start the Spark Context with another user than the one 
configured on the local machine?



Please the technical details below:





The permission on the hdfs folder "/tmp/Iris" is as follows:
drwxr-xr-x   - hdfs      hadoop          0 2014-04-10 14:12 /tmp/Iris


The Spark context is initiated on my local machine and according to the 
configured hdfs permission "rwxr-xr-x" there is no problem in loading the 
Hadoop hdfs file into a rdd:
final JavaRDD<String> rdd = sparkContext.textFile(filePath);

But saving the resulted rdd back to Hadoop resulst in an Hadoop security 
exception:
rdd.saveAsTextFile("/tmp/Iris/output");

Then the I receive the following Hadoop security exception:
org.apache.hadoop.security.AccessControlException: 
org.apache.hadoop.security.AccessControlException: Permission denied: 
user=halbani, access=WRITE, inode="/tmp/Iris":hdfs:hadoop:drwxr-xr-x

Apparently is the Spark context is initiated with the user on the local machine.
Is there a way to start the Spark Context with another user then the one 
configured on the local machine?
