> LdapGroupsMapping has lots of configurable properties and is thus fairly
> complex in nature. _HDFS Permissions Guide_ has a minimal introduction to
> LdapGroupsMapping, with reference to "More information on configuring the
> group mapping service is available in the Javadocs."
> However, its Javadoc provides no information about how to configure it.
> Core-default.xml has descriptions for each property, but still lacks a
> comprehensive tutorial. Without a tutorial/guide, these configurable
> properties would be buried under the sea of properties.
> Both Cloudera and HortonWorks has some information regarding LDAP group
> mapping:
> http://www.cloudera.com/documentation/enterprise/latest/topics/cm_sg_ldap_grp_mappings.html
> http://hortonworks.com/blog/hadoop-groupmapping-ldap-integration/
> But neither cover all configurable features, such as using SSL with LDAP, and
> POSIX group semantics.
