[jira] [Resolved] (ACCUMULO-421) Table ACLs should be reflected in HDFS Table directories

Christopher Tubbs resolved ACCUMULO-421.
----------------------------------------
    Resolution: Won't Fix

Reading RFiles directly should be considered a privileged action. Accumulo isn't a system for managing HDFS files, but for managing tables of indexed data. The RFiles underneath should generally be abstracted from the user's code by the API. So, I don't think this is worth doing. It would also tightly couple us more with HDFS, rather than merely using HDFS as our underlying storage layer.

I'm closing this to clean up old issues, but if it's still an issue, please open an issue on GitHub, where we now track issues: https://github.com/apache/accumulo/issues

> To help support proper security in ACCUMULO-387, we should change the way Accumulo handles file permissions in HDFS. Each table should have it's own group, and as we add/remove user read access to the system, we should modify the group of the table accordingly. This way if a user does a map reduce over the table files, the MR can only be run over files they can read within Accumulo.
