> Drill uses JPAM as the PAM authenticator module for username/password
> verification for PLAIN mechanism. There are some known issues with JPAM which
> leads to JVM crash and memory leaks. JPAM also requires a manual step in
> copying the native library.
> Also based on the
> [HIVE-16529|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-16529] there have been
> mention of these issues with JPAM which is resolved in the libpam4j. Also
> libpam4j avoids the need to install native library explicitly. It would be
> good to provide support for libpam4j in Drill to avoid these issues.
> Some other reported problems with JPAM:

> * https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=860119#c12
