this profile is used under to customise `bootstrap.properties` to include
`-Djava.security.auth.login.config=/opt/mapr/conf/mapr.login.conf`
AFAIK it is only required by MapR. To the best of my knowledge CDH and HDP
do not require anything similar.
But you have a point, perhaps we could skip the profile could by simply
referring people to use the property directly.
Having said that I think that telling people to use using
`-Dnifi.hadoop.distro.params="-Djava.security.auth.login.config=/opt/mapr/conf/mapr.login.conf"`
would look quite ugly and confusing when compared with `-Pmapr`
