LinuxTaskController is too strict on the initial ownership of files/dir. ------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MAPREDUCE-1595 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-1595 Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce Issue Type: Bug Components: security, task-controller Reporter: Vinod K V Linux task controller is too strict now w.r.t the initial ownership of the files/dir that it tries to make as secure as possible. Currently, it expects, for e.g, the mapred-local/tasktracker/user-dir to be both user-owned and group-owned by TT. This leads to unrecoverable failures in some corner cases. It can instead allow the files/dirs to be owned either by TT *or* by the jobOwner. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
