Owen O'Malley commented on HADOOP-4429:
---------------------------------------
+1 for the return of DrWho !
Historical background:
Hadoop used to default to "Dr Who" as the user id, if it couldn't figure out
your username from the system properties. It was removed because of the space
and the assertion that it never happened. Introduced in HADOOP-52 and removed
by HADOOP-2833.
