Craig Macdonald commented on HADOOP-4104:
-----------------------------------------
Yes, I agree. Hadoop doesnt have a authentication system, so we shouldn't force
one on it in this patch.
+1 on HADOOP-4104.2.txt: I have read through the code and am happy with the
patch.
@ Sameer - I agree that libhdfs can leverage any additional authentication
functionality. I should just make clear that a requirement of any
authentication change should be "impersonation" by a process running with
superuser privileges, as provided hdfsConnectAsUser().
> add time, permission and user attribute support to libhdfs
