-----------------------------------------------------------------

[~eyang] getting back to this. Yes that format should be supported, please note 
that by default the 'L' parameter is not supported in this case as normal 
Kerberos is not aware of it and it would make the krb5.conf invalid.

I have been thinking about this a little bit more: instead of making this a 
rule mechanism we could also make it pickup the rules from /etc/krb5.conf with 
the special rule in hadoop's config of "\{SYSTEM}", which should then only be 
allowed as the first and last rule. This would make it available to both 
mechanisms and be more true to its nature as it is not really the system's 
mechanism that is applied.

> Hadoop has long maintained its own configuration for Kerberos' auth_to_local 
> rules. To the user this is counter intuitive and increases the complexity of 
> maintaining a secure system as the normal way of configuring these 
> auth_to_local rules is done in the site wide krb5.conf usually /etc/krb5.conf.
> With HADOOP-15996 there is now support for configuring how Hadoop should 
> evaluate auth_to_local rules. A "system" mechanism should be added. 
> It should be investigated how to properly parse krb5.conf. JDK seems to be 
> lacking as it is unable to obtain auth_to_local rules due to a bug in its 
> parser. Apache Kerby has an implementation that could be used. A native (C) 
> version is also a possibility.
