CR Hota commented on HDFS-13972:
--------------------------------

[~elgoiri] Thanks for the feedback.

Initially I was inclined with the approach you mentioned , but upon looking 
more threadlocal model seems to me be a better way to handle it than 
refactoring functions to allow ugi as an input param. It's more error prone to 
pass ugi through whole function stack. With threadlocal and getRemoteUser 
method, this change is restricted to a specific place and not allowing 
developers to think about what ugi to pass around. This is an edge case where 
ugi needs to be flipped, for remaining all cases until now, ugi remains that of 
end user.

Yes, DN reports surely needs caching, specially also because its a fan out call 
to all namenodes and needs multiple optimizations. Will create a Jira for that.
