I see.  This will not in fact be used to perform full user authentication, but 
rather just to check if the user is permitted to access things as dfs.web.ugi 
access.

The only issue I have is that FilterConfiguration should probably be an 
abstract class rather than an interface, so that we can update it without 
breaking user code.  Other than that, +1.

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