hdfs proxy was removed.
> Adding support for HDFS proxy
> -----------------------------

> Key: HADOOP-5405
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-5405
> Project: Hadoop Common
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: security
> Reporter: Kan Zhang

> Currently, HDFS doesn't authenticate users. The client simply tells HDFS who
> she is and HDFS will take her word for it. That makes it possible for HDFS
> proxy to access HDFS on behalf of a user - the proxy simply claims to be that
> user. Once we turn on authentication, the proxy can't do that without having
> user's credentials. We need a solution such that HDFS proxy can continue to
> access HDFS on behalf of users.
