Todd Lipcon commented on HADOOP-8152:
-------------------------------------
I generally agree that the static "loginUser" concept is a mess and should
probably be killed in favor of using methods like
{{loginFromKeytabAndReturnUGI}} everywhere. But I also agree with Aaron that we
can mark these as evolving and it doesn't force our hand down the road.
