Bolke de Bruin commented on HADOOP-15996:
-----------------------------------------
[~eyang] I'm having some trouble understanding how that mapping happens. I'm
following the same pattern as 'NAME_RULES' and that doesn't have an explicit
mapping.
In Hadoop-common's HadoopKerberosName that extends KerberosName the mapping
does seem to be made in 'setConfiguration' for 'NAME_RULES' so this is where I
added the 'MECHANISM' mapping as well. What am I overlooking?
[~lmccay] Let me know where I can add documentation and I am happy to do so.

> 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.
