Regarding a Multi user environment

I have set up hadoop for a multi user environment. Different users are able
to submit map reduce jobs on a cluster.

What i am trying to do is to see if different users can start or stop the
cluster as well.

Is it possible in hadoop . if yes, how can we do it

Hi,

if I understood correctly, you want other users than root can stop /
start an entire cluster?
Its possible via sudoers (visudo). Create a group, insert the users
(must be exists on the system) and give the right to run bin/start.sh
and bin/stop.sh.

hope it helps,
 - Alex
