> Requirements AFIK :
> It is required in some special cases (benchmarks etc) to invoke NameNode
> functionality without an RPC. For this users should be able to set user
> information that is otherwise available only an RPC.
> Patch for HADOOP-1298 includes a change to Server.java so that
> {{Server.getUserInfo()}} does not need to in an RPC. This probably will be
> replaced by patch here.
> Please include any other Jira's that depend on this.
> Proposed fix:
> - UserGroupInformation becomes an abstract class
> - public static UserGroupInformation.getUserInfo() is added. which usually
> just returns Server.getUserInfo();
> - public static UserGroupInformation.setUserInfo(UserGroupInformation) sets
> a thread local that will returned if Server.getUserInfo() returns null.
> - all invocations of Server.getUserInfo() will be replaced by
> UserGroupInformation.getUserInfo().
