----------------------------------
{quote}Here, getFileStatus() should fail or pass?{quote}
It should pass with default filter but fail with the test filter.
I will commit the patch soon.

> 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.
