Doug Cutting commented on HADOOP-1298:
--------------------------------------
Has anyone looked at the Apache Directory Server
(http://directory.apache.org/)? This is an all-Java, embeddable LDAP and
Kerberos server. So we could use this to, e.g., maintain the user database and
do user authentication, perhaps even running it within the namenode process.
While we'd like to be able to integrate with external user databases and
authentication systems, having one that works out of the box for HDFS would be
nice.

> I'm working on adding a permissions model to hadoop's DFS. The first step is
> this change, which associates user info with files. Following this I'll
> assoicate permissions info, then block methods based on that user info, then
> authorization of the user info.
> So, right now i've implemented adding user info to files. I'm looking for
> feedback before I clean this up and make it offical.
> I wasn't sure what release, i'm working off trunk.
