[jira] Commented: (HADOOP-4299) Unable to access a file by a
different user in the same group when permissions is set to 770 or when
permissions is turned OFF
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-4299?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12636198#action_12636198 ]
Hairong Kuang commented on HADOOP-4299:
---------------------------------------
I tried both scenarios. All worked. Did the error message you saw come from the local file system? Please try using "cat" instead of "get".

> Key: HADOOP-4299
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-4299
> Project: Hadoop Core
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: dfs
> Affects Versions: 0.19.0
> Reporter: Ramya R
> Assignee: Hairong Kuang
> Priority: Blocker
> Fix For: 0.19.0
>
>
> Consider the following two scenarios
> 1) With permissions ON, start cluster as user A, create a file as user A, chmod 770 file as user A, access file as user B(using 'get' command)
> The expected behavior would be that user B should be able to access the file since user A and user B are in the same group. But this is not happening. Instead the following error message is displayed "get: Permission denied"
> 2) With permissions ON, start cluster as user A, create a file as user A, chmod 700 file as user A, shut down dfs and turn permissions OFF and start up dfs, access file as user B(using 'get')
> The expected behavior would be that user B should be able to access the file since permissions is turned OFF. But this is not happening. Instead the following error message is displayed "get: Permission denied"
