Aaron T. Myers commented on BIGTOP-857:
---------------------------------------

By default I believe BigTop configures the Unix domain socket for HDFS short 
circuit reads under /var/run/hadoop-hdfs. When a DN starts up with short 
circuit read enabled, one of the things it does is verify the security of the 
local file system path where the domain socket will be created. The DN will 
error out if any component along that path is group-writable unless the group 
ownership is 'root'. I believe the group ownership of /var/run/hadoop-hdfs is 
either 'hadoop' or 'hdfs' in BigTop, and thus this directory must not be 
group-writable in order for short circuit local read to work properly.
                
> Inconsistent group ownership of /var/run/hadoop-hdfs between .deb and .rpm 
> installs

> Several /var/{run,lib,log}/hadoop-* directories have 755 permissions on 
> Debian but 775 permission on Red Hat. Probably innocuous, but inconsistent.
