             Summary: [ATS1.5]  All history logs should be kept under its own 
User Directory.
                 Key: YARN-6811
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/YARN-6811
             Project: Hadoop YARN
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: timelineclient, timelineserver
            Reporter: Rohith Sharma K S


ATS1.5 allows to store history data in underlying FileSystem folder path i.e 
*/acitve-dir* and */done-dir*. These base directories are protected for 
unauthorized user access for other users data by setting sticky bit for 
/active-dir. 

But object store filesystems such as WASB does not have user access control on 
folders and files. When WASB are used as underlying file system for ATS1.5, the 
history data which are stored in FS are accessible to all users. *This would be 
a security risk*

I would propose to keep history data under its own user directory i.e 
*/active-dir/$USER* and */done-dir/$USER* unlike remote app-logs. Even this do 
not solve basic user access from FS, but it provides capability to plugin 
Apache Ranger policies for each user folders. One thing to note that setting 
policies to each user folder is admin responsibility. But grouping all history 
data of one user folder allows to set policies so that user access control is 
achieved.
