Bolke de Bruin commented on HADOOP-15996:
-----------------------------------------
Ah ok. HADOOP-12751 was available on 2.x , so this is why I suggested
'compatible'.
What do you think the scope of the plugin interface needs to be? Your point #1
seems broader than I anticipated.
We could also consider a 'native' plugin available when hadoop-native is
installed that uses the C-api. JAVA's kerberos interface deviates from
MIT/Heimdal in some areas. It would also offload complexities of properly
dealing with auth_to_local rules.

> Key: HADOOP-15996
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-15996
> Project: Hadoop Common
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: security
> Reporter: Eric Yang
> Priority: Major
>
> Hadoop does not allow support of @ character in username in recent security
> mailing list vote to revert HADOOP-12751. Hadoop auth_to_local rule must
> match to authorize user to login to Hadoop cluster. This design does not
> work well in multi-realm environment where identical username between two
> realms do not map to the same user. There is also possibility that lossy
> regex can incorrectly map users. In the interest of supporting multi-realms,
> it maybe preferred to pass principal name without rewrite to uniquely
> distinguish users. This jira is to revisit if Hadoop can support full
> principal names without rewrite and provide a plugin to override Hadoop's
> default implementation of auth_to_local for multi-realm use case.
