Kihwal Lee updated HADOOP-9436: ------------------------------- Status: Patch Available (was: Open) > NetgroupCache does not refresh membership correctly > --------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-9436 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-9436 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 2.0.3-alpha, 3.0.0, 0.23.7 > Reporter: Kihwal Lee > Assignee: Kihwal Lee > Attachments: HADOOP-9436.patch > > > NetgroupCache is used to get around the problem of inability to obtain a > single user-to-groups mapping from netgroup. For example, the ACL code > pre-populates this cache, so that any user-group mapping can be resolved for > all groups defined in the service. > However, the current refresh code only adds users to existing groups, so a > loss of group membership won't take effect. This is because the internal > user-groups mapping cache is never invalidated. If this is simply invalidated > on clear(), the cache entries will build up correctly, but user-group > resolution may fail during refresh, resulting in incorrectly denying accesses. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
