Adding support for HDFS proxy
-----------------------------
Key: HADOOP-5405
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-5405
Project: Hadoop Core
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: security
Reporter: Kan Zhang
Assignee: Kan Zhang
Currently, HDFS doesn't authenticate users. The client simply tells HDFS who
she is and HDFS will take her word for it. That makes it possible for HDFS
proxy to access HDFS on behalf of a user - the proxy simply claims to be that
user. Once we turn on authentication, the proxy can't do that without having
user's credentials. We need a solution such that HDFS proxy can continue to
access HDFS on behalf of users.
