Amareshwari Sriramadasu commented on MAPREDUCE-1744:
----------------------------------------------------
Shouldn't the Implementation of DistributedCache.addFileToClassPath(Path file,
Configuration conf) call file.getFileSystem(conf) instead of
FileSystem.get(conf)? Similar change would be needed for
DistributedCache.addArchiveToClassPath(Path archive, Configuration conf) also.
Also, javadoc should not have two usage messages for deprecation. That will be
confusing for users,
> DistributedCache creates its own FileSytem instance when adding a
> file/archive to the path

> According to the contract of {{UserGroupInformation.doAs()}} the only
> required operations within the {{doAs()}} block are the
> creation of a {{JobClient}} or getting a {{FileSystem}} .
> The {{DistributedCache.add(File/Archive)ToClasspath()}} methods create a
> {{FileSystem}} instance outside of the {{doAs()}} block,
> this {{FileSystem}} instance is not in the scope of the proxy user but of the
> superuser and permissions may make the method
> fail.
> One option is to overload the methods above to receive a filesystem.
> Another option is to do obtain the {{FileSystem}} within a {{doAs()}} block,
> for this it would be required to have the proxy
> user set in the passed configuration.
> The second option seems nicer, but I don't know if the proxy user is as a
> property in the jobconf.
