Chunjun Xiao commented on HDFS-7389: ------------------------------------ Hi [~vinayrpet], I think there's a bug in your patch: {quote} } else if (type == AclEntryType.GROUP) { // Use group entry (unnamed or named) with mask from permission bits @@ -340,6 +341,7 @@ private void checkAccessAcl(INode inode, int snapshotId, FsAction access, return; } foundMatch = true; + break; } {quote} You shouldn't change the logic for the group; just changing the user logic is enough. Otherwise, if a user USR1 belongs to several groups (e.g., GRP1 & GRP2, with ACL entries: group:GRP1:----, group:GRP2:rwx), the user will be denied from accessing, but he/she SHOULD have. > Named user ACL cannot stop the user from accessing the FS entity. > ----------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HDFS-7389 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-7389 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: Bug > Components: namenode > Affects Versions: 2.5.1 > Reporter: Chunjun Xiao > Assignee: Vinayakumar B > Attachments: HDFS-7389-001.patch > > > In > http://hortonworks.com/blog/hdfs-acls-fine-grained-permissions-hdfs-files-hadoop/: > {quote} > It’s important to keep in mind the order of evaluation for ACL entries when a > user attempts to access a file system object: > 1.
