Hudson commented on HDFS-9552: ------------------------------ FAILURE: Integrated in Hadoop-trunk-Commit #8985 (See [https://builds.apache.org/job/Hadoop-trunk-Commit/8985/]) HDFS-9552. Document types of permission checks performed for HDFS (cnauroth: rev 724e71f63b35695482642ed7aedacd70d08e6cb1) * hadoop-hdfs-project/hadoop-hdfs/src/site/markdown/HdfsPermissionsGuide.md * hadoop-hdfs-project/hadoop-hdfs/CHANGES.txt > Document types of permission checks performed for HDFS operations. > ------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: HDFS-9552 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-9552 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: documentation > Reporter: Chris Nauroth > Assignee: Chris Nauroth > Fix For: 2.8.0 > > Attachments: HDFS-9552.001.patch, HDFS-9552.002.patch, > HDFS-9552.003.patch, hadoop-site.tar.bz2 > > > The HDFS permissions guide discusses our use of a POSIX-like model with read, > write and execute permissions associated with users, groups and the catch-all > other class. However, there is no documentation that describes exactly what > permission checks are performed by user-facing HDFS operations. This is a > frequent source of questions, so it would be good to document this. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
