> The static keytab and principal for the login user is problematic. The login
> conf explicitly references these statics. As a result,
> loginUserFromKeytabAndReturnUGI is unnecessarily synch'ed on the class to
> swap out the login user's keytab and principal, login, then restore the
> keytab/principal. This method's synch blocks further de-synching of other
> methods.
