Hudson commented on HADOOP-10851: --------------------------------- FAILURE: Integrated in Hadoop-trunk-Commit #6054 (See [https://builds.apache.org/job/Hadoop-trunk-Commit/6054/]) HADOOP-10851. NetgroupCache does not remove group memberships.

It is cleared only if the server is restarted. > To reproduce this: > * Cache a group with a set of users. > * Test membership correctness. > * Clear cache, remove a user from the group and cache the group again > * Expected result : user’s groups should not include the group from which > he/she is removed. > * Actual result : user’s groups includes the group from which he/she was > removed. > It is also noted that _NetgroupCache_ has concurrency issues and a separate > jira is filed to rectify them. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
