> runAs is a binary in the hadoop-common project. It seems to allow you to run
> a hadoop daemon as another user. However, it requires setuid privileges in
> order to do this.
> * Do we still need this binary? Who is using it and are there better
> solutions out there? My understanding is that setuid binaries are something
> we generally try to avoid.
> * If we do need it, can we add some documentation about it somewhere?
> * Should this binary be in the src/test directory? It doesn't seem to be
> testing anything.
> Hopefully that covers everything...
