             Summary: File ownership needs more consistency for those 
installations where root access is hard to get
                 Key: AMBARI-1747
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AMBARI-1747
             Project: Ambari
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 1.3.0
            Reporter: Sumit Mohanty
            Assignee: Sumit Mohanty
             Fix For: 1.3.0


The basic suggestion is to avoid having files/directories owned by root 
wherever possible. So for /etc/hadoop/conf files should either be owned by 
hdfs:hadoop, or mapred:hadoop. For /etc/hive/conf files should only be owned by 
hive:hadoop, and so on. Think of the case where you only have access to the 
accounts that got created, and you need to do as much as possible without 
requesting root access.
