dfs web interfaces should run as a configurable user account ------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HADOOP-2614 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-2614 Project: Hadoop Issue Type: Bug Components: dfs Reporter: Tsz Wo (Nicholas), SZE Assignee: Tsz Wo (Nicholas), SZE Currently, web interfaces (i.e. browseDirectory.jsp, browseBlock.jsp, etc.) run in each Datanode. The web interfaces use the corresponding Datanode account (the user who ever started the Datanode) to connect to Namenode. Usually, Datanodes are started by administrators. As a consequence, the web interfaces have administrator access, which is undesirable. The web interfaces account should be configurable. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
