HDFS api - change case of username?

["Bible, Landy" <la...@utulsa.edu>]

Hey all,

I've run into a problem where I need to change the user who I'm running the HDFS commands as.

I've got clients uploading data from windows boxes as a specific user. In HDFS, the owner shows up as domain\user.  Now I need to get the data from a linux box which is tied to AD with the likewise-open package.  When running there usernames are shown as DOMAIN\user.  This is causing me to get permission denied errors when I try to read the files.  Is it possible to make HDFS ignore case or for me to convince the API to always pass the username in lower case?

Thanks,
