Nicolas Martinez Varsi commented on NIFI-3534: ---------------------------------------------- Hi! Any news about this? > Add support for using a remoteUser with HDFS processors > -------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: NIFI-3534 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-3534 > Project: Apache NiFi > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Andrew Psaltis > Assignee: Andrew Psaltis > Priority: Major > > When using the HDFS processors, specifically PutHDFS there are times when a > user wants to act as a remote user so that the files written to HDFS are done > as the remote user. In cases where Kerberos is not used, this is not > possible. Currently there is the ability for NiFi to change the permissions > using the Remote Owner and Remote Group, however, this only works if NiFi is > running as a user that has HDFS super user privilege. By providing the > ability to set a Remote User, the NiFi HDFS processors will then use this > remote user for all HDFS activities and the permission checks will be done in > Hadoop land. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
