Kihwal Lee commented on HADOOP-10307:
-------------------------------------
It will be nice if it allows to try auth filters in the chain one by one until
one succeeds. The default one should be the first one. If the client specified
one or more preferred methods, only those would be tried. I haven't looked at
the code, but we may need a container auth filter to support trying multiple
auth methods.
