Jesse Yates commented on HBASE-5526: ------------------------------------ In short, if we do allow setting umasks, we should do it for both directories and files - doing it right the first (ok, second) time :) > Optional file permission settings > --------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-5526 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-5526 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: regionserver > Reporter: Jesse Yates > Assignee: Jesse Yates > Fix For: 0.94.0 > > Attachments: java_HBASE-5526.patch > > > Currently many all the files created by the HBase user are just written using > the default file permissions granted by hdfs. However, it is often times > adventageous to only allow a subset of the world to view the actual data > written by hbase when scanning the raw hdfs files. > This ticket covers setting permissions for files written to hdfs that are > storing actual user data, as opposed to _all_ files written to hdfs as many > of them contain non-identifiable metadata. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
