 While efforts like [these](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/pull/14108) help with per-plugin permissions, the ultimate goal is having a secure Elasticsearch install. Unfortunately Hadoop (especially 2.x) requires _dangerous_ permissions such as _execute_ on _all_ files (triggered during even [basic initialization](https://github.com/apache/hadoop/blob/772ea7b41b06beaa1f4ac4fa86eac8d6e6c8cd36/hadoop-common-project/hadoop-common/src/main/java/org/apache/hadoop/util/Shell.java#L728). Permissions like this (not to mention the shell execution) are simply too _dangerous_ and security is significantly affected.
 Where possible, we try to find the common ground and have the code still running securely with hacks like [these](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/blob/105411060c44cd796187068abe9df6168ff9253b/core/src/main/java/org/elasticsearch/bootstrap/ESPolicy.java#L88).
