[jira] Commented: (HADOOP-7083) Allow SecureIO to be disabled for
developer workstations
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-7083?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12989479#comment-12989479 ]
Alejandro Abdelnur commented on HADOOP-7083:
--------------------------------------------
This patch enables developers to work with Hadoop with Kerberos ON in platforms for which native code is not available. I.e. many developers use Macs, and they just download the Hadoop binary, they don't build it. Hadoop binaries don't ship with Mac native code.
As Hadoop with Security becomes more popular this will become a bigger issue.
Regarding the name of the method/property, we could change it to allow.non.privileged.port or something like that.

> In testing with secure Hadoop, the new requirement for native code is annoying on platforms like OSX where the native code can be tricky to get compiled and working. We should allow developers to disable this aspect of security by setting a special flag.
