Daniel Templeton commented on HADOOP-12751:
-------------------------------------------
Looking at the patch, it seems sound. My only concern is that the code you're
taking out has been in there so long, other code may now assume that an OS
username cannot contain a slash. Have you applied this patch and tested it in
a live system? Did you try in one that supports a slash and one that doesn't?
> While using kerberos Hadoop incorrectly assumes names with '@' to be
> non-simple

> In the scenario of a trust between two directories, eg. FreeIPA (ipa.local)
> and Active Directory (ad.local) users can be made available on the OS level
> by something like sssd. The trusted users will be of the form '[email protected]'
> while other users are will not contain the domain. Executing 'id -Gn
> [email protected]' will successfully return the groups the user belongs to if
> configured correctly.
> However, it is assumed by Hadoop that users of the format with '@' cannot be
> correct. This code is in KerberosName.java and seems to be a validator if the
> 'auth_to_local' rules are applied correctly.
> In my opinion this should be removed or changed to a different kind of check
> or maybe logged as a warning while still proceeding, as the current behavior
> limits integration possibilities with other standard tools.
> Workaround are difficult to apply (by having a rewrite by system tools to for
> example user_ad_local) due to down stream consequences.
