Andrew Purtell commented on HBASE-2016:
---------------------------------------
bq. can't seem to go directly thru LDAP instance without requiring user
principal to be in Kerberos, right?
Correct, it's fair to say direct use of kerberos is the only option today, as
with the case of Hadoop in general.
I still think this jira could be resolved. Additional authentication options
for Hadoop are under discussion in various Hadoop JIRAs, which we can pick up
when they become available.
