Bikas Saha commented on HADOOP-8101: ------------------------------------ I think you mean the work done in HADOOP-8121. Can that be ported to this branch if needed? When running on Windows, I think we might be able to get away using Windows shell commands which use the built-in OS support (taking advantage of the efficiency and caching provided by Windows). I think, if I understand Sanjay's intent correctly, he is describing the support needed in a non-secure (non-authenticated) Hadoop setup. Hence, the LTC etc pieces are not yet in the picture. Sanjay, please correct me if needed. As an aside, LTC (LinuxTaskController) is a pieces of native code that gets executed on demand. If that abstraction is correct, it can be replicated for Windows although it might make sense to revisit the abstraction. > Security changes for Hadoop for Windows > --------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-8101 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-8101 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: Sub-task > Components: native > Reporter: Sanjay Radia > Attachments: security.patch, security1.patch > > -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
