Kan Zhang commented on HADOOP-6543:
-----------------------------------

Attached a patch for review. When a RPC server is configured to do simple auth 
and a client proposes Kerberos or DIGEST authentication, the server sends back 
a message so that client can switch to simple auth. A twist is that the server 
needs to ignore the initial SASL message that the client has already sent and 
continue with simple auth.

> Allow authentication-enabled RPC clients to connect to 
> authentication-disabled RPC servers

> This is useful when one has multiple clusters (of the same release version), 
> some have authentication turned on and some off, and one needs to move data 
> between them.
