Thejas M Nair commented on HIVE-4601:
-------------------------------------
Verified the hive package target, and hcatalog tests pass (this is a webhcat
only change). I will commit this soon.
> WebHCat, Templeton need to support proxy users

>
> We have a use case where a Gateway would provide unified and controlled
> access to secure hadoop cluster.
> The Gateway itself would authenticate to secure WebHDFS, Oozie and Templeton
> with SPNego.
> The Gateway would authenticate the end user with http basic and would assert
> the end user identity as douser argument in the calls to downstream WebHDFS,
> Oozie and Templeton.
> This works fine with WebHDFS and Oozie. But, does not work for Templeton as
> Templeton does not support proxy users.
> Hence, request to add this improvement to Templeton.
