> Original Estimate: 48h

> My corporate security office (ISO) requires that all http traffic get routed
> through a Web Access Management layer
> (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_access_management)
> Our Hadoop cluster has been segmented by a virtual network with all access to
> HBase from outside clients being managed through HBase Stargate rest server.
> The corporate WAM system requires that all http clients authenticate with it
> first before making any http request to any http service in the corporate
> network. After the http client authenticates with the WAM system the WAM
> system returns the client a set of values that must be inserted into a http
> cookie and request header of all future http requests to other http clients.
> This would mean that all requests through the RemoteHTable interface would
> require that this cookie and request header be set as part of the http
> request. org.apache.hadoop.hbase.rest.client.Client looks like the
> appropriate place that this functionality would need to be plugged into.
