[jira] [Resolved] (SPARK-26101) Spark Pipe() executes the external app by yarn username not the current username

["Marcelo Vanzin (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

Marcelo Vanzin resolved SPARK-26101.
------------------------------------
    Resolution: Not A Problem

If you want YARN to start child processes as specific users, you need to configure YARN to do that, e.g. by using {{LinuxContainerExecutor}}. Spark cannot that itself since it's not a privileged process.

Some reading: https://hadoop.apache.org/docs/current/hadoop-yarn/hadoop-yarn-site/SecureContainer.html

(Or you could build setuid functionality into the application you're piping to, although I would not recommend that.)

>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: YARN

> Hello,
> I am using *Spark 2.3.0.cloudera3* on Cloudera cluster. When I start my Spark session (Zeppelin, Shell, or spark-submit) my real username is being impersonated successfully. That allows YARN to use the right queue based on the username, also HDFS knows the permissions. (These all work perfectly without any problem. Meaning the cluster has been set up and configured for user impersonation)
> Example (running Spark by user panahi with YARN as a master):
> {code:java}
>  
> 18/11/17 13:55:47 INFO spark.SecurityManager: Changing view acls to: panahi
> 18/11/17 13:55:47 INFO spark.SecurityManager: Changing modify acls to: panahi
> 18/11/17 13:55:47 INFO spark.SecurityManager: Changing view acls groups to:
> 18/11/17 13:55:47 INFO spark.SecurityManager: Changing modify acls groups to:
> 18/11/17 13:55:47 INFO spark.SecurityManager: SecurityManager: authentication disabled; ui acls disabled; users with view permissions: Set(mpanahi); groups with view permissions: Set();
> users with modify permissions: Set(panahi); groups with modify permissions: Set()
> ...
> 18/11/17 13:55:52 INFO yarn.Client:
> client token: N/A
> diagnostics: N/A
> ApplicationMaster host: N/A
> ApplicationMaster RPC port: -1
> queue: root.multivac
> start time: 1542459353040
> final status: UNDEFINED

> user: panahi
> {code}

> However, when I use *Spark RDD Pipe()* it is being executed as `*yarn*` user. This makes it impossible to use an external app such as `c/c++` application that needs read/write access to HDFS because the user `*yarn*` does not have permissions on the user's directory. (also other security and resource management issues by executing all the external apps as yarn username)
> *How to produce this issue:*
> {code:java}
> val test = sc.parallelize(Seq("test user")).repartition(1)
> val piped = test.pipe(Seq("whoami"))
> val c = piped.collect()
> result:
> test: org.apache.spark.rdd.RDD[String] = MapPartitionsRDD[26] at repartition at <console>:37 piped: org.apache.spark.rdd.RDD[String] = PipedRDD[27] at pipe at <console>:37 c: Array[String] = Array(yarn) 
> {code}
>  
> I believe since Spark is the key actor to invoke this execution inside YARN cluster, Spark needs to respect the actual/current username. Or maybe there is another config for impersonation between Spark and YARN in this situation, but I haven't found any.
>  
> Many thanks.
