---------------------------------------
i think this can be closed as wont fix
> Spark tarball with binaries should have files owned by uid 0
> ------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: SPARK-27513
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-27513
> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Build
> Affects Versions: 2.4.1
> Reporter: koert kuipers
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 3.0.0
>
>
> currently the tarball is created in dev/make-distribution.sh like this:
> {code:bash}
> tar czf "spark-$VERSION-bin-$NAME.tgz" -C "$SPARK_HOME" "$TARDIR_NAME"
> {code}
> the problem with this is that if root unpacks this tarball the files are
> owned by whatever the uid is of the person that created the tarball. this uid
> probably doesnt exist or belongs to a different unrelated user. this is
> unlikely to be what anyone wants.
> for other users this problem doesnt exist since tar is now allowed to change
> uid. so when they unpack the tarball the files are owned by them.
> it is more typical to set the uid and gid to 0 for a tarball. that way when
> root unpacks it the files are owned by root. so like this:
> {code:bash}
> tar czf "spark-$VERSION-bin-$NAME.tgz" --numeric-owner --owner=0 --group=0 -C
> "$SPARK_HOME" "$TARDIR_NAME"
> {code}
