-----------------------------------

             Summary: [Thrift] Make principal configurable in DemoClient.java
                 Key: HBASE-18387
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-18387
             Project: HBase
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Lars George
            Priority: Minor


In the Thrift1 demo client we have this code:

{code}
transport = new TSaslClientTransport("GSSAPI", null,
  "hbase", // Thrift server user name, should be an authorized proxy user.
  host, // Thrift server domain
  saslProperties, null, transport);
{code}

This will only work when the Thrift server is started with the {{hbase}} 
principal. Often this may deviate, for example I am using {{hbase-thrift}} to 
separate the names from those of backend servers. 

What we need is either an additional command line option to specify the name, 
or a property that can be set with -D and can be passed at runtime. I prefer 
the former, as the latter is making this a little convoluted.
