[jira] [Commented] (HADOOP-8803) Make Hadoop running more secure public cloud envrionment

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-8803?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13455025#comment-13455025 ] 

Xianqing Yu commented on HADOOP-8803:
-------------------------------------

I would like to discuss this topic with hadoop community to see if people want or need those features in future's Hadoop. Please post your thoughts here.

> I have two major goals in the project.
> One is bring fine-grain access control to Hadoop. Based on 0.20.204, Hadoop 
> access control is based on user or block granularity, e.g. HDFS Delegation 
> Token only check if the file can be accessed by certain user or not, Block 
> Token only proof which block or blocks can be accessed. I would like to make 
> Hadoop can do byte-granularity access control, each access party, user or 
> task process can only access the bytes she or he least needed.
> Second one is that make Hadoop work more secure in Cloud environment, 
> especially in public Cloud environment. So the communication between 
> hadoop's node should be protected. And if some nodes of hadoop is 
> compromised, the damage should be minimized (e.g. known wildly shared-key 
> problem of Block Access Token problem).
