             Summary: Improve NNThroughputBenchmark to allow non super user to 
use the tool
                 Key: HDFS-17439
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-17439
             Project: Hadoop HDFS
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: benchmarks, namenode
            Reporter: Fateh Singh


The NNThroughputBenchmark can only be used with hdfs user or any user with 
super user privileges since entering/exiting safemode is a privileged 
operation. However, when using super user, ACL checks are skipped. Hence it 
renders the tool to be useless when testing namenode performance along with 
authorization frameworks such as Apache Ranger / any other authorization 
frameworks.

An optional argument such as -nonSuperUser can be used to skip the statements 
such as entering / exiting safemode. This optional argument makes the tool 
useful for incorporating authorization frameworks into the performance 
estimation flows.
