> There is an existing current_user() UDF which returns the user provided by
> the configured {{hive.security.authenticator.manager}}. This is often the
> same as the user provided on connection, but some cases, like
> HadoopDefaultAuthenticator this could be different.
> Some cases we need the logged in user independently of the configured
> authenticator, so a new UDF is created which provides this - returns the
> {{SessionState.get().getUserName()}}.
