Allen Wittenauer commented on HADOOP-3854:
------------------------------------------

Basically, this spawned out of a request of mine to support Y!'s custom 
authentication and access control system for the UIs until Hadoop gets a 
security system in place.  If this works the way I hope it does :), it would 
allow us to enable HDFS browsing and potentially even enable the JT UI in 
"write" mode.

> org.apache.hadoop.http.HttpServer should support user configurable filter

> Filters provide universal functions such as authentication, logging and 
> auditing, etc.  HttpServer should support configurable filters, so that 
> individual site administrators could possibly configure filters for their web 
> site.
