Benoy Antony commented on HADOOP-10565:
---------------------------------------
This patch delegates the ProxyUsers's ip/host name handling to MachineList.
MachineList does ip and host lookup faster. It also enables ability to specify
ip ranges in CIDR format.
> Support IP ranges (CIDR) in proxyuser.hosts

> In some use cases, there will be many hosts from which the user can
> impersonate.
> This requires specifying many ips in the XML configuration.
> It is cumbersome to specify and maintain long list of ips in proxyuser.hosts
> The problem can be solved if proxyuser.hosts accept ip ranges in CIDR format.
