Colin Patrick McCabe updated HDFS-3568:
---------------------------------------
Attachment: HDFS-3568.001.patch
patch to support security in fuse_dfs.
* add UserGroupInformation#fromKerberosTicketCache. As the name suggests, it
allows us to create a UGI from a ticket cache path.
* fuse_connect.c: discover whether kerberos is configured. If so, locate the
appropriate kerberos ticket cache path and pass that to hdfsBuilderConnect.
* hdfs.c: add a few utility functions such as hadoopConfSet, jStrToCstr,
hadoopConfGet
* hdfs.c: add the hdfsBuilder interface. The basic idea is that rather than
creating 2^N different 'connect' functions (where N is the number of possible
configuration options), we create a builder and then set some options on it.
Then we call hdfsBuilderConnect.
* Because the hdfsBuilder type is not exported, new fields can be added to it
later as needed, without breaking backwards compatibility. The old
hdsfConnect* functions are kept for now for compatbility reasons.
* This patch unifies the connect functions into one function, rather than
having totally separate code paths for each.
* This patch also adds the hdfsConfGet API, which returns the key associated
with a given Configuration key (or NULL if there is no such key.) This is
needed so that fuse_dfs can determine if Kerberos is enabled.
