Larry McCay commented on HADOOP-9726:
-------------------------------------
My two cents:
1. I don't understand why there is configuration for a utils class
2. a static initialization block and a static setter for this both stand out as
an anti-pattern to be avoided - this will introduce problems in the long run
where multiple tenants or the like require different settings - perhaps even in
tests we need different settings
I don't believe the answer is to continue the anti-pattern but rather to
refactor the utils class to accept the settings as part of the interaction.
Hitesh - what is the scenario that you need to override the settings for?
> org.apache.hadoop.security.SecurityUtil has its own static Configuration
> which cannot be overridden

> There is a static block which loads a new Configuration object and uses it to
> initialize the SSLFactory and HostResolver.
> Should this class have a similar static setConfiguration() function similar
> to UGI?
