> When Ranger is enabled with no further authentication method configured and
> no user specified Impala throws IllegalArgumentException (see bellow).
> Meanwhile, Hive JDBC replaces empty user with 'anonymous'. Although, without
> authentication any user can be impersonated and it is a rare use-case, we
> should consider substitute empty username for 'anonymous' as well for
> interoperability.
