Mikhail Antonov commented on HBASE-2016:
----------------------------------------
I know HBase resorts to Hadoop group mapping service, which can be plugged to
NN, but authentication of user itself (username/password/domain) can't seem to
go directly thru LDAP instance without requiring user principal to be in
Kerberos, right?
