Add SPNEGO support to Avro HTTP transport
-----------------------------------------
Key: AVRO-651
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-651
Project: Avro
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: java
Reporter: Carl Steinbach
[SPNEGO|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SPNEGO] is the standard mechanism for
Kerberos authentication over HTTP.
Avro should give users the option of using an Avro HTTP client or server that
is capable of authentication using SPNEGO/Kerberos. This will be useful for
Hadoop which has chosen Kerberos as its standard authentication protocol, as
well as people who need to use Kerberos authentication with Avro based services
running in servlet containers like Tomcat.
