ryan rawson commented on HBASE-3194:
------------------------------------

it would also be nice to run on both w/o rebuilding.

> HBase should run on both secure and vanilla versions of Hadoop 0.20

>
> There have been a couple cases recently of folks trying to run HBase trunk 
> (or 0.89 DRs) on CDH3b3 or secure Hadoop.    While HBase security is in the 
> works, it currently only runs on secure Hadoop versions.  Meanwhile HBase 
> trunk won't compile on secure Hadoop due to backward incompatible changes in 
> org.apache.hadoop.security.UserGroupInformation.
> This issue is to work out the minimal set of changes necessary to allow HBase 
> to build and run on both secure and non-secure versions of Hadoop.  Though, 
> with secure Hadoop, I don't even think it's important to target running with 
> HDFS security enabled (and krb authentication).  Just allow HBase to build 
> and run in both versions.
> I think mainly this amounts to abstracting usage of UserGroupInformation and 
> UnixUserGroupInformation.
