             Summary: HDFS group quota
                 Key: HDFS-13096
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-13096
             Project: Hadoop HDFS
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: datanode, fs, hdfs, nn
    Affects Versions: 3.0.0, 2.7.5, 2.8.3
            Reporter: Ruslan Dautkhanov


We have groups of people that have their own set of HDFS directories. 
For example, they have HDFS staging place for new files:
/datascience
/analysts 
... 
but at the same time they have Hive warehouse directory 
/hivewarehouse/datascience
/hivewarehouse/analysts 
... 
on top of that they also have some files stored under /user/${username}/ 

It's always been a challenge to maintain a combined quota on all HDFS locations 
a particular group of people owns. As we're currently forced to put a 
particular quota for each directory independently.

It would be great if HDFS would have a quota tied either
- to a set of HDFS locations ;
- or to a group of people (where `group`is defined as which HDFS group a 
particular file/directory belongs to).

Linux allows to define quotas at group level, i.e. `edquota -g devel` etc.. 
would be great to have the same at HDFS level.

Other thoughts and ideas?
