Aaron T. Myers commented on HDFS-6435: -------------------------------------- I should also mention that I just did some manual testing between a client machine with a completely different set of UIDs/GIDs from the machine running the NFS Gateway, and this feature works as expected once the static mapping file is configured correctly. In my case, I used the following mapping file, and while browsing HDFS over NFS was able to see the correct user/group names displayed: {noformat} $ cat /etc/nfs.map uid 1037 1000 # atm gid 516 1000 # atm uid 17 115 # hdfs gid 18 125 # hdfs gid 23 999 # supergroup {noformat} > Add support for specifying a static uid/gid mapping for the NFS gateway > ----------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HDFS-6435 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-6435 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: nfs > Affects Versions: 2.4.0 > Reporter: Aaron T. Myers > Assignee: Aaron T. Myers > Attachments: HDFS-6435.patch > > > It's quite reasonable that folks will want to access the HDFS NFS Gateway > from client machines where the UIDs/GIDs do not line up with those on the NFS > Gateway itself. We should provide a way to map these UIDs/GIDs between the > systems. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
