I have to work on the stable version, thus I need to know if this is possible with the actual version (and if yes - which tweaks are necessary). What I figured out is that you can specify the user/group login name upfront within the conf, thus the hdfs client does not have to execute any "whois" command or unix specific stuff. So I guess if there is a patch it will be working with future releases. But what about 0.18, 0.19 and 0.20?
