Jonathan Hsieh commented on HBASE-5714: --------------------------------------- Thanks liang xie! Looks good to me. I'm committing (with minor tweaks to port to 0.94/0.92/0.90). Thanks for the review stack. > Add write permissions check before any hbck run that modifies hdfs. > ------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-5714 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-5714 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Sub-task > Components: hbck > Affects Versions: 0.90.6, 0.92.2, 0.94.0, 0.96.0 > Reporter: Jonathan Hsieh > Attachments: HBASE-5628.patch, HBASE-5628.patch.v2 > > > We encoutered a situation where hbck was run by an under-privileged user that > was unable to write/modify/merge regions due to hdfs perms. Unfortunately, > this user was alerted of this after several minutes of read-only operations. > hbck should fail early by having a write perm check and providing actionable > advice to the hbase admin. > Maybe something like: "Current user yy does not have write perms to <hbase > home>. Please run hbck as hdfs user xxx" -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
