----------------------------------
+1. The patch looks good to me.
Minor: it would be nice to add some comments to the unit test
testWebHdfsAuthFilter().
> Allow WebHDFS to use pluggable authentication filter

> Currently the WebHDFS server only uses SPNEGO filters for authentication
> purposes. The design serves the purpose well when SPNEGO is available,
> however, other services (e.g., the web UI) where SPNEGO might be unavailable
> can also use WebHDFS.
> Note that the web UI and the WebHDFS are served by the same Jetty server on
> the same port. The Web UI can use customized authentication filters, it might
> make sense to allow WebHDFS to take customized authentication filters as well.
