Chuan Liu created HADOOP-8457: --------------------------------- Summary: Address file ownership issue for users in Administrators group on Windows. Key: HADOOP-8457 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-8457 Project: Hadoop Common Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 1.1.0, 0.24.0 Reporter: Chuan Liu Priority: Minor
On Linux, the initial file owners are the creators. (I think this is true in general. If there are exceptions, please let me know.) On Windows, the file created by a user in the Administrators group has the initial owner ‘Administrators’, i.e. the the Administrators group is the initial owner of the file. As a result, this leads to an exception when we check file ownership in SecureIOUtils .checkStat() method. As a result, this method is disabled right now. We need to address this problem and enable the method on Windows. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
