------------------------------------
Hi, we are new to the contribution process. Just wonder if we are on the right
track.
The automated QA test returned with +1 test case failure which in our opinion
is unrelated to our change. Do we need to do anything to restart the review
process? or we just need to wait?
Thanks in advance for any advice.

> We need a plugin API to translate long principal names (e.g.
> [email protected]) to local OS user names (e.g. user123456) arbitrarily.
> For some organizations the name translation is straightforward (e.g.
> [email protected] to john_doe), and the hadoop.security.auth_to_local
> configurable mapping is sufficient to resolve this (see HADOOP-6526).
> However, in some other cases the name translation is arbitrary and cannot be
> generalized by a set of translation rules easily.
