> Some applications need to be able to perform actions (such as launch MR jobs)
> from map or reduce tasks. In earlier unsecure versions of hadoop (20.x), it
> was possible to do this by setting user.name in the configuration. But in
> 20.205 and 1.0, when running in unsecure mode, this does not work. (In secure
> mode, you can do this using the kerberos credentials).
