[jira] Created: (HADOOP-6770) chang UnixUserGroupInformation to use "user.name" instead of whoami

chang UnixUserGroupInformation to use "user.name" instead of whoami
-------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: HADOOP-6770
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-6770
             Project: Hadoop Common
          Issue Type: Improvement
    Affects Versions: 0.20.1
            Reporter: sam rash


at present, we fork and use whoami to get the current username.  we can avoid the fork(which can be slow) and user System.getProperty("user.name") which is set by the jvm

[jira] Resolved: (HADOOP-6770) chang UnixUserGroupInformation to use "user.name" instead of whoami

Posted by "Owen O'Malley (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>.
     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-6770?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Owen O'Malley resolved HADOOP-6770.
-----------------------------------

    Resolution: Won't Fix

The code no longer uses the external 'whoami' command. It uses the JAAS interface.
