Devaraj Das commented on HADOOP-6538:
-------------------------------------
ant tests passed with the last patch. test-patch passed with the last patch but
it complained about "no tests included". I manually tested the patch by
checking that in mapreduce, without setting any config for authentication, the
value of the parameter is "simple" with this modified common jar. I will commit
this.
> Set hadoop.security.authentication to "simple" by default

> The default value of "hadoop.security.authentication" is "kerberos". It makes
> sense for that to be "simple" since not all users have kerberos
> infrastructure set up, and it is inconvenient to have it set it to "simple"
> manually.
