             Summary: LImit WebHDFS to specifc user, host, directory triples
                 Key: HDFS-14234
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-14234
             Project: Hadoop HDFS
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: webhdfs
            Reporter: Clay B.


For those who have multiple network zones, it is useful to prevent certain 
zones from downloading data from WebHDFS while still allowing uploads. This can 
enable functionality of HDFS as a dropbox for data - data goes in but can not 
be pulled back out. (Motivation further presented in [StrangeLoop 2018 Of Data 
Dropboxes and Data 
Gloveboxes|https://www.thestrangeloop.com/2018/of-data-dropboxes-and-data-gloveboxes.html]).

Ideally, one could limit the datanodes from returning data via an 
[{{OPEN}}|https://hadoop.apache.org/docs/current/hadoop-project-dist/hadoop-hdfs/WebHDFS.html#Open_and_Read_a_File]
 but still allow things such as 
[{{GETFILECHECKSUM}}|https://hadoop.apache.org/docs/current/hadoop-project-dist/hadoop-hdfs/WebHDFS.html#Get_File_Checksum]
 and 
{{[{{CREATE}}|https://hadoop.apache.org/docs/current/hadoop-project-dist/hadoop-hdfs/WebHDFS.html#Create_and_Write_to_a_File]}}.
