Description
HDFS has configuration option dfs.permissions.superusergroup stored in
hdfs-site.xml configuration file:
<property> <name>dfs.permissions.superusergroup</name> <value>supergroup</value> <description>The name of the group of super-users.</description> </property>
Since we have an option to use alternative Hadoop filesystems (HCFS), there is
a question how to specify a supergroup in such case.
Eg. would introducing HCFS option in say core-site.xml for this as shown
below make sense?
<property> <name>hcfs.permissions.superusergroup</name> <value>${dfs.permissions.superusergroup}</value> <description>The name of the group of super-users.</description> </property>
Or would you solve it in different way? I would like to at least declare
a recommended approach for alternative Hadoop filesystems to follow.
