> HIVE-5155 addresses the problem of kerberos authentication in multi-user
> middleware server using proxy user. In this mode the principal used by the
> middle ware server has privileges to impersonate selected users in
> Hive/Hadoop.
> This enhancement is to support Subject.doAs() authentication in Hive JDBC
> layer so that the end users Kerberos Subject is passed through in the middle
> ware server. With this improvement there won't be any additional setup in the
> server to grant proxy privileges to some users and there won't be need to
> specify a proxy user in the JDBC client. This version should also be more
> secure since it won't require principals with the privileges to impersonate
> other users in Hive/Hadoop setup.
