Aaron T. Myers commented on HDFS-4295:
--------------------------------------

Hi liuyang, we should really continue this conversation on the 
u...@hadoop.apache.org mailing list, since it's not an issue with this 
bug/patch. The short answer to your question is: you have to start the DN as 
root, and make sure that the HADOOP_SECURE_DN_USER environment variable is set 
to 'hdfs' so that the DN knows which user to switch to.

If you have any more questions about this, please email u...@hadoop.apache.org.
