Alejandro Abdelnur commented on HADOOP-9848:
--------------------------------------------
[~daryn], I was helping Wei getting started with this patch, I don't think
there is a way to start the kdc without the ldap server backing it. Regarding
the creation of the schema, I know Wei tried a few different ways of doing this
with the goal of making things completely transparent to the users, other
approaches required using a bunch of annotations before starting the kdc and
that was not pretty. The generated files after this schema initialization are
~1400 files in the working directory, so I'd say that these extra 70lines do
create the schema are far better than checking in ~1400 ldiff files (which I
don't know how they could be parameterized). The MiniKdc trashes its private
working dir on shutdown not to leave those files around.
About having a {{KerberosSecurityTestcase}}, that sounds like a good Idea. Wei,
mind doing that? It should be under main/source/java, and you'll have to make
junit a compile dependency.
