So for /etc/hadoop/conf files should either be owned by hdfs:hadoop, or mapred:hadoop. For /etc/hive/conf files should only be owned by hive:hadoop, and so on. Think of the case where you only have access to the accounts that got created, and you need to do as much as possible without requesting root access. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
