> Currently the REST gateway can authenticate to a HBase cluster using a
> preconfigured principal. This provides a limited form of secure operation
> where one or more gateways can be deployed with distinct principals granting
> appropriate levels of privilege, but the service ports must be protected
> through network ACLs. This is at best a stopgap.
> SPNEGO is the standard mechanism for Kerberos authentication over HTTP.
> Enhance the REST gateway such that it provides this option, and issues
> requests to the HBase cluster with the established context.
