Hi Tomasz!
I believe that's true.

 Dear Ravi,

  thanks for answer. I went through the discussion in the ticket you 
mention and did some experimentation. My understanding is the following 
- as long as I dont explicitly allow for this using

  hadoop.proxyuser.username.groups
  hadoop.proxyuser.username.hosts

user processes spawned by yarn on worknodes will always run with the uid 
of that user. Is that right?

  Thanks,
  Tomasz
