Jakob Homan commented on HDFS-8155:
-----------------------------------
Hey Kai-
This JIRA is part of the larger effort of 8154 to make the WebHDFS REST
specification more general and accessible to other clients and back-end
implementations. It will likely build on your work to add OAuth2 throughout
the system.
Effectively, this JIRA is for two items: a) add OAuth2 as a possible
[authentication
method|https://hadoop.apache.org/docs/r2.5.1/hadoop-project-dist/hadoop-hdfs/WebHDFS.html#Authentication]
(along with SPENGO, simple and delegation tokens) and b) add support in the
WebHDFSFileSystem for passing OAuth tokens (or obtaining those tokens via
configuration-supplied credentials or user/name password) to the WebHDFS
backend. I'm interested in the client and non-Namenode WebHDFS backends, while
you're focusing on the Namenode and other current components.
I would like to get the change to the WebHDFS spec and support on the client in
soon. Happy to use your code, or to commit it if it's ready.
