------------------------------------
Hi [[email protected]],
Thanks for your comments. In HADOOP-11766 we're going to come up a generic
token authentication support and we need a general token type as part of the
APIs. I thought the class name of {{AuthToken}} is nice, so want to borrow it
for the purpose. The impact should be low as the existing class is only used
internally as you said. Sound good? Thanks for your confirm or other ideas.
