Hairong Kuang commented on HADOOP-2716:
---------------------------------------
I think it still makes sense to have a getProxy mehthod that takes a UGI
parameter for the performance purpose. If the user-supplied ugi is null,, then
do an automatic login. The getProxy method without the UGI paramter calls this
method directly with a null UGI as input.
> Balancer should require superuser privilege
