Aaron T. Myers commented on HADOOP-9019:
----------------------------------------
bq. In a private cluster where machines dont have any DNS server and also
mapping of all ip/hostnames may not be present in /etc/hosts. In that case we
may need to use IP instead of hostname in configs.
But how will this proposal help in such a situation? In order for this to work,
the cluster will have to be able to do reverse name lookups on the IP address,
so properly configured DNS of some sort (either a DNS server or populated
/etc/hosts) will have to be present.
> KerberosAuthenticator.doSpnegoSequence(..) should create a HTTP principal
