Issac Buenrostro commented on HADOOP-16214:
-------------------------------------------
[~owen.omalley] something similar, we have principals like
<user>/<role1>/<role2>@<realm>. Although NN and other base Hadoop components
will only use <user> to determine authorization, we have other services that
will make access or data rewriting decisions based on any combination of user,
role1, or role2 (for example, role1 might contain information on why a user is
accessing data, role2 about how the obtained the authentication).

> org.apache.hadoop.security.authentication.util.KerberosName is in charge of
> converting a Kerberos principal to a user name in Hadoop for all of the
> services requiring authentication.
> Although the Kerberos spec
> ([https://web.mit.edu/kerberos/krb5-1.5/krb5-1.5.4/doc/krb5-user/What-is-a-Kerberos-Principal_003f.html])
> allows for an arbitrary number of components in the principal, the Hadoop
> implementation will throw a "Malformed Kerberos name:" error if the principal
> has more than two components (because the regex can only read serviceName and
> hostName).
