Aaron T. Myers updated HADOOP-9283:
-----------------------------------

    Attachment: HADOOP-9283.patch

Here's a patch which adds support for running the Hadoop client on AIX by 
conditionally loading the appropriate user/security classes when running on 
AIX, and by conditionally setting up the JAAS configuration appropriately when 
using IBM Java.

No tests are included since an AIX environment would be required to do so 
properly. I tested this patch manually by running the HDFS daemons in a 
standard Linux environment and accessing the file system using a Hadoop client 
running on an AIX box. I tested both with and without security enabled, and 
both scenarios worked as expected. I also manually tested both ticket cache and 
keytab-based logins, and both of those worked as expected as well.

> The UserGroupInformation class currently supports running with either Sun 
> Java or IBM Java on Windows or Linux. This JIRA is to add support for using
