What steps will reproduce the bug?
Create a shared instance in the Cloud.
Then add data. Then export them.
Then open RDF and Schema in a text editor and you will see that the data comes with namespace context.
Expected behavior and actual result.
The expected result was that Dgraph exported the Schema and RDF cleanly. No ACL context.
In short, as it is a shared instance. The namespace context is irrelevant. Because if the user is exporting it, he will certainly load it into a new instance. And if it loads into a new shared instance, it can't choose which namespace it will have. Because he is not general admin.
We have two options.
Or add a way to ignore namespaces (and predicates for namespaces during mutation) in liveload and bulkload.
Or do not export any namespace and ACL data. Have an option to export clean.
