Work on HDFS-14176 started by Dinesh Chitlangia. ------------------------------------------------ > Replace incorrect use of system property user.name > -------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HDFS-14176 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-14176 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 3.3.0 > Environment: Kerberized > Reporter: Wei-Chiu Chuang > Assignee: Dinesh Chitlangia > Priority: Major > > Looking at the Hadoop source code, there are a few places where the code > assumes the user name can be acquired from Java's system property > {{user.name}}. > For example, > {code:java|title=FileSystem} > /** Return the current user's home directory in this FileSystem. > * The default implementation returns {@code "/user/$USER/"}. > */ > public Path getHomeDirectory() { > return this.makeQualified( > new Path(USER_HOME_PREFIX + "/" + System.getProperty("user.name"))); > } > {code} > This is incorrect, as in a Kerberized environment, a user may login as a user > principal different from its system login account. > It would be better to use > {{UserGroupInformation.getCurrentUser().getShortUserName()}}, similar to > HDFS-12485. > Unfortunately, I am seeing this improper use in Yarn, HDFS federation > SFTPFilesystem and Ozone code (tests are ignored) > The impact should be small, since it only affects the case where system is > Kerberized and that the user principal is different from system login account. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: hdfs-issues-unsubscr...@hadoop.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: hdfs-issues-h...@hadoop.apache.org
