Kazuho Fujii commented on HADOOP-12830:
---------------------------------------

[~aw],

bq. Not necessarily. If Kerberos is enabled, keys are being stored locked in memory, etc, then su isn't guaranteed to work.

Thanks for teaching. If so, the security is a critical issue. I do not want to downgrade the security level with this feature. I try to search a solution.

I will rewrite the patch following your advice. Thanks a lot.

> Hadoop file system shell commands are slow. This issue is about building a shell environment for quick command operations.
> Previously an interactive shell is tried to build in HADOOP-6541. But, it seems to be poor because users are used to powerful shells like bash. This issue is not about creating a new shell, but just opening a new bash process. Therefore, user can operate commands as before.

> The shell has a mini daemon process that is living until the shell is closed. The hadoop fs command delegates the operation to the daemon. They communicate with named pipes. The daemon conducts the operation and returns the result to the command.
> In this shell the hadoop fs commands operation becomes quick. In a local environment, "hadoop fs -ls" command is about 100 times faster than the normal command.

> Using bash's function, commands and file names are automatically completed.
> {code}
> fjk@x240 hadoop> hadoop fs -ch<TAB><TAB>
> -checksum  -chgrp     -chmod     -chown
> fjk@x240 hadoop> hadoop fs -ls /file<TAB><TAB>
> /file1  /file2  /file3
> {code}
> Additionally, we can make equivalents with bash build-in commands, e.g., cd, umask. In this shell, they can work because the daemon remembers the state.
