Allen Wittenauer commented on HADOOP-6419:
------------------------------------------
bq. I think it's fine that we restrict the implementation to support only one
mechanism per protocol.
Hmm. Are we worried this is short-sighted?

> The authentication mechanism to use will be SASL DIGEST-MD5 (see RFC-2222 and
> RFC-2831) or SASL GSSAPI/Kerberos. Since J2SE 5, Sun provides a SASL
> implementation by default. Both our delegation token and job token can be
> used as credentials for SASL DIGEST-MD5 authentication.
