libhdfs should allow connection to the DFS as a given user
----------------------------------------------------------
Key: HADOOP-3764
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-3764
Project: Hadoop Core
Issue Type: New Feature
Reporter: Craig Macdonald
Consider a gateway service (e.g. NFS server->HDFS gateway, fuse-dfs).
In these examples, different users will connect to the the gateway service. In
each case, libhdfs should facilitate connection using the user's security
context. This ensures that existing permissions, ownership, group-ownership in
the DFS are respected.
