             Summary: Why not re-use the security model offered by SELINUX?
                 Key: HADOOP-11747
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-11747
             Project: Hadoop Common
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Madhan Sundararajan Devaki
            Priority: Critical


SELINUX was introduced to bring in a robust security management in Linux OS.
In all installations of Hadoop (Cloudera/Hortonworks/...) one of the pre-installation checklist items is to disable SELINUX in all the nodes of the cluster.
Why not re-use the security model offered by SELINUX setting instead of re-inventing from scratch through Sentry/Knox/etc...?
