[jira] [Created] (HDFS-2856) Fix block protocol so that Datanodes
don't require root or jvsc
Fix block protocol so that Datanodes don't require root or jvsc
---------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HDFS-2856
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-2856
Project: Hadoop HDFS
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: contrib/raid, scripts
Reporter: Owen O'Malley
Since we send the block tokens unencrypted to the datanode, we currently start the datanode as root and get a secure (< 1024) port.
If we have the datanode generate a nonce and send it on the connection and the sends an hmac of the nonce back instead of the block token it won't reveal any secrets. Thus, we wouldn't require a secure port and would not require root or jsvc.
