Benoy Antony commented on HADOOP-10307:
---------------------------------------
@rkanter, Using )AltKerberosAuthenticationHandler_ seems like a way to
introduce multiple mechanisms as if its a single mechanism. This will result in
one implementation which knows about all mechanisms. Not sure if that's the
standard/right pattern to plugin multiple implementations of an interface to a
framework.
The approach that we have used to specify the different _AuthenticationHandler_
implementations directly in the configuration. The default implementation can
be specified by keeping it at the beginning of the list.
