----------------------------------------------
Attachment: patch-899-6.txt
Patch with comments addressed.
bq. The wait introduced for in the ClusterWithLinuxTaskController does not seem
required, because doesn't MiniMRCluster itself wait for clusters to join ?
Verified. The new code is not required. If there are any timeouts because
trackers could not come up, MAPREDUCE-1366 should address that.
> When using LinuxTaskController, localized files may become accessible to
> unintended users if permissions are misconfigured.

> To enforce the accessibility of job files to only the job-owner and the
> TaskTracker, as per MAPREDUCE-842, it is _trusted_ that the setuid/setgid
> linux TaskController binary is group owned by a _special group_ to which only
> TaskTracker belongs and not just any group to which TT belongs. If the trust
> is broken, possibly due to misconfiguration by admins, the local files become
> accessible to unintended users, yet giving false sense of security to the
> admins.
