wiki and hadoop templates provides wrong superusergroup property instead of supergroup --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HDFS-3118 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-3118 Project: Hadoop HDFS Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 1.0.0 Environment: Used Debian package install Reporter: Olivier Sallou Priority: Minor The hdfs-site template and the wiki: http://hadoop.apache.org/hdfs/docs/current/hdfs_permissions_guide.html#The+Super-User refers to property dfs.permissions.superusergroup to define the group of superuser. However we must use the property dfs.permissions.supergroup, and not superusergroup, to make it work. In file src/hdfs/org/apache/hadoop/hdfs/server/namenode/FSNamesystem.java, supergroup is extracted from: this.supergroup = conf.get("dfs.permissions.supergroup", "supergroup"); It does not make use of DFS_PERMISSIONS_SUPERUSERGROUP_KEY -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
