HDP allows you to configure how user and group information is represented during getFileStatus(), listStatus(), and getAclStatus() calls. You can configure this by adding the following property to core-site.xml:

<property>
  <name>adl.feature.ownerandgroup.enableupn</name>
  <value>true</value>
</property>

When set to "true", user and group in the FileStatus/AclStatus response is represented as a user-friendly name as per Azure AD profile. When set to "false" (default), user and group in the FileStatus/AclStatus response is represented by the unique identifier from Azure AD profile (Object ID as GUID).

For best performance we recommended using the default value.
