KWON BYUNGCHANG updated HDFS-17928:
-----------------------------------
    Description: 
h2. Problem
HttpServer2's access log always records `-` in the `%u` position even
for authenticated requests:
Affects every HttpServer2-backed daemon (NN/DN/RM/NM/HttpFS/KMS).
 
h2. Root cause
`AuthenticationFilter` wraps `HttpServletRequest` so downstream
filters and servlets see the user via `getRemoteUser()`. The wrap
only flows through the filter chain. Jetty's `RequestLogHandler`
runs outside the chain on the base `Request`, whose
`getAuthentication()` stays as `NOT_CHECKED` forever.
 
Jetty's native auth path (`jetty-security` Authenticators) sets
`Request.setAuthentication(...)` directly, which is why standard
deployments don't have this issue. Hadoop avoids `jetty-security`
for container portability and pays this cost.
 
h2. Fix
Install a small Servlet `Filter` (in hadoop-common) after the
auth filters that:
 
1. Reads `getRemoteUser()` from the wrapped request,
2. Calls `Request.setAuthentication(...)` on the base `Request`
with a minimal inline `Authentication.User` (no
`jetty-security` dependency).
 
`HttpServer2.initializeWebServer` installs it automatically after
`FilterInitializer`s; no configuration needed. Works for both
Kerberos and pseudo-auth — both feed the user through
`getRemoteUser()`.
 
h2. Known gap
`DelegationTokenAuthenticationHandler.managementOperation` writes
its response inline and returns `false`, so `AuthenticationFilter`
skips `filterChain.doFilter`. The bridge filter doesn't run for
token mgmt requests; the handler attaches directly there.
