Amir Sanjar commented on HBASE-7910: ------------------------------------ Removing reflection from UserGroupInformation (IBM JVM vs SUN JVM login section) will break hadoop on any platforms that SUN/Oracle JVM is not supported - i.e. POWERFPC and S390x. The real solution will be to develop hadoop security component that is independent of platform and JVM vendor. > Dont use reflection for security > -------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-7910 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-7910 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Enis Soztutar > Assignee: Enis Soztutar > Fix For: 0.95.0 > > > security.User class uses reflection so that HBase can work with older > Hadoop's not having security.
