-------------------------------------
Please give me a little time to review to ensure this doesn't affect host-based
tokens.

> Currently hadoop-auth AuthenticationHandler only authenticates a request.
> While it can easily be extended to authenticate delegation tokens, it cannot
> handle the delegation token get/renew/cancel operations.
> The motivation of this new feature is that the above delegation token
> operations should be handled by a security component (hadoop-auth) instead of
> a functional component (httpfs implementation). Ideally we should have a
> complete separation of concerns between delegation token management and
> FileSystem/MapReduce/YARN API, but we don't. This change is a step on that
> directory for HTTP based services (like HttpFS).
