[jira] Created: (HADOOP-5542) Group changes cause FUSE-DFS I/O error

Group changes cause FUSE-DFS I/O error
--------------------------------------

                 Key: HADOOP-5542
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-5542
             Project: Hadoop Core
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 0.19.1
            Reporter: Brian Bockelman
            Assignee: Pete Wyckoff


If a user utilizes the FUSE mount, then has a group change, they will be unable to write into FUSE using the new group information.

To duplicate (assuming user brian starts only in group brian):
1) Write file into FUSE (or do any other action)
2) Add user brian to group brian2
3) chown anything brian owns to brian:brian2.  The error message that gets passed along is:

[brian@red ~]$ chown brian:brian2 /mnt/hadoop/user/brian/test_group_perms2
chown: changing ownership of `/mnt/hadoop/user/brian/test_group_perms2': Input/output error

I believe this is due to the fact that group information is only looked up at NN connection time?

If you then remount the FUSE mount, the chown command succeeds.

Craig Macdonald commented on HADOOP-5542:
-----------------------------------------

Brian,

This would be same for any long-running Hadoop process in general. It's not specific to fuse-dfs. Its possible the case that fuse-dfs processes are most long running.
