                 Key: HADOOP-6187
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-6187
             Project: Hadoop Common
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: ipc
    Affects Versions: 0.20.0
            Reporter: Pallavi Palleti


The current hadoop environment assumes  that everything is trusted environment and so doesn't have any security checks. This might lead to any one to spoof as super user and gain access to the cluster if the environment is open for every one. So, there is a need to restrict super user permission only from certain IP addresses.
