Proxy user

ECS HDFS supports the use of the Hadoop proxy user.

A proxy user allows a Hadoop user to submit jobs or access HDFS on behalf of another user. The proxy user functionality can be compared to the UNIX/Linux effective user capabilities where running a command as one user assumes the identity of a different user as identified by the permission settings on the executable.

You configure proxy users for secure impersonation on a per-namespace (or per-bucket) basis. Proxy users are supported in simple and Kerberos mode. In either mode, the administrator can restrict proxy impersonations using the hadoop.proxyuser.*.* properties.
