Scott A. Wehner commented on HDFS-14570:
----------------------------------------
In hadoop 2.x disabling webhdfs would provide a message "Path does not exist on
HDFS or WebHDFS is disabled...." when going to the Utilities -> Browse the file
system in the namenode UI regardless of file permissions in hdfs. Now in
hadoop 3 any user can down load files from hdfs using the same utility, even
with OAuth2 enabled. While the default value of dfs.permissions.umask-mode is
022, this means that any unauthenicated user can download files from hdfs. Can
there be a new property that can be set to stop the ability of browsing the
file system from the namenode UI? Disabling webhdfs used to do this on the
dfsheath.html in hadoop 2, but hadoop 3 explorer.html still allows anonymous
access regardless of OAuth2 settings. This is what I'm wishing for.
> Bring back ability to totally disable webhdfs by bringing dfs.webhdfs.enabled
> property back into the hdfs-site.xml

> We don't want to enable security for viewing namenode http page, but we don't
> want people to be able to modify the contents of hdfs through anonymous

> disable webhdfs. want to bring this back, doesn't seem to hard to do, but
> makes it important in our environment.
