Kai Zheng created HADOOP-9840: --------------------------------- Summary: Improve User class for UGI and decouple it from Kerberos Key: HADOOP-9840 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-9840 Project: Hadoop Common Issue Type: Improvement Components: security Reporter: Kai Zheng Assignee: Kai Zheng Priority: Minor
As discussed in HADOOP-9797, it would be better to improve UGI incrementally. Open this JIRA to improve User class to: * Make it extensible as a base class, then can have subclasses like SimpleUser for Simple authn, KerberosUser for Kerberos authn, IdentityTokenUser for TokenAuth (in future), and etc. * Decouple it from Kerberos. * Refactor UGI class safely, move testing related codes out of it. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
