Vinod Kumar Vavilapalli commented on YARN-6811:
-----------------------------------------------

I don't understand why this patch is needed. Can we simply not change the active-dir configuration to have a $user.name path?

Also, why doesn't the same logic apply for the done-directory? I don't see corresponding changes.

> ATS1.5 allows to store history data in underlying FileSystem folder path i.e */acitve-dir* and */done-dir*. These base directories are protected for unauthorized user access for other users data by setting sticky bit for /active-dir. 
> But object store filesystems such as WASB does not have user access control on folders and files. When WASB are used as underlying file system for ATS1.5, the history data which are stored in FS are accessible to all users. *This would be a security risk*
> I would propose to keep history data under its own user directory i.e */active-dir/$USER*. Even this do not solve basic user access from FS, but it provides capability to plugin Apache Ranger policies for each user folders. One thing to note that setting policies to each user folder is admin responsibility. But grouping all history data of one user folder allows to set policies so that user access control is achieved.
