> Project: IMPALA
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Clients
> Affects Versions: Impala 3.3.0
> Reporter: Thomas Tauber-Marshall

> Fix For: Impala 3.3.0
>
>
> When clients connect over http, we should allow them to perform impersonation
> via the 'doAs' parameter, eg. by specifying a path of the form
> '/?doAs=<username>'
> This is useful for example for Apache Knox, which proxies connections to
> Impala and authenticates as itself via Kerberos but runs queries as other
> users.
> We can leverage the existing support for impersonation, eg. knox would have
> to be included in 'authorized_proxy_user_config' to be able to do the
> impersonation
