Arun C Murthy updated YARN-1253:
--------------------------------
Target Version/s: (was: 2.1.1-beta)
> Changes to LinuxContainerExecutor to use cgroups in unsecure mode
> -----------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: YARN-1253
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/YARN-1253
> Project: Hadoop YARN
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: nodemanager
> Affects Versions: 2.1.0-beta
> Reporter: Alejandro Abdelnur
> Assignee: Roman Shaposhnik
> Priority: Blocker
>
> When using cgroups we require LCE to be configured in the cluster to start
> containers.
> When LCE starts containers as the user that submitted the job. While this
> works correctly in a secure setup, in an un-secure setup this presents a
> couple issues:
> * LCE requires all Hadoop users submitting jobs to be Unix users in all nodes
> * Because users can impersonate other users, any user would have access to
> any local file of other users
> Particularly, the second issue is not desirable as a user could get access to
> ssh keys of other users in the nodes or if there are NFS mounts, get to other
> users data outside of the cluster.
