                 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.
