If you are serious , the following 3 papers can help you out.
1. Hadoop security Design - Oct 2009 yahoo-inc.com
2. New Hadoop security Design  by A. Becherer
3. Securing your enterprise Hadoop Ecosystem - white paper, Cloudera
lots of reading though

Ways to manage user accounts on hadoop cluster when using kerberos security

From the documentation + code, "when kerberos is enabled, all tasks are run as the end user (e..g as user "joe" and not as hadoop user "mapred") using the task-controller (which is setuid root and when it runs, it does a setuid/setgid etc. to Joe and his groups ). For this to work, user "joe" linux account has to be present on all nodes of the cluster."

In a environment with large and dynamic user population; it is not practical to add every end user to every node of the cluster (and drop user when end user is deactivated etc.)

What are other options get this working ? I am assuming that if the users are in a LDAP, can using the PAM for LDAP solve the issue. Any other suggestions?

How do I customize data placement on DataNodes (DN) of Hadoop cluster?

Let we change the default block size to 32 MB and replication factor to 1. Let Hadoop cluster consists of 4 DNs. Let input data size is 192 MB. Now I want to place data on DNs as following. DN1 and DN2 contain 2 blocks (32+32 = 64 MB) each and DN3 and DN4 contain 1 block (32 MB) each. Can it be possible? How to accomplish it?

Are there any other security tools for security in hadoop

I'm trying to implement security on my hadoop data. I'm using Cloudera hadoop and looking for the following.

  1. ROLE BASED AUTHORIZATION AND AUTHENTICATION

  2. ENCRYPTION ON DATA RESIDING IN HDFS

I have looked into Kerboroes but it doesn't provide encryption for data already residing in HDFS. Are there any other security tools i can go for? has anyone done above two security features in cloudera hadoop.

Hadoop: HTTPS communication between nodes, how can I confirm ?

We are trying to measure performance between HTTP and HTTPS version on Hadoop DFS, Mapreduce and other related modules.

As of now, we have tested using several metrics on Hadoop HTTP Mode. Similarly we are trying to test the same metrics on HTTPS Platform. Basically our test suite cluster consists of one Master Node and two Slave Nodes.

We have configured HTTPS connection and now we need to verify whether Nodes are communicating directly through HTTPS. Tried checking logs, clusters webhdfs ui, health check information, dfs admin report but of no help. Since there is only limited documentation available in HTTPS, we are unable to verify whether Nodes are communicating through HTTPS.

Hence any experts around here can shed some light on how to confirm HTTPS communication status between nodes (might be with mapreduce/DFS).
