------------------------------------
In case it's desired, I'd like to do a careful review for this and hope it
helps.

> We need a plugin API to translate long principal names (e.g.
> [email protected]) to local OS user names (e.g. user123456) arbitrarily.
> For some organizations the name translation is straightforward (e.g.
> [email protected] to john_doe), and the hadoop.security.auth_to_local
> configurable mapping is sufficient to resolve this (see HADOOP-6526).
> However, in some other cases the name translation is arbitrary and cannot be
> generalized by a set of translation rules easily.
