-------------------------------------------

             Summary: [FindBugs] DelegationToken.equals() is not symmetric with 
PasswordToken.equals()
                 Key: ACCUMULO-3644
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-3644
             Project: Accumulo
          Issue Type: Sub-task
          Components: client
            Reporter: Christopher Tubbs
            Assignee: Josh Elser
             Fix For: 1.7.0


FindBugs at rank 8 warns about DelegationToken overriding PasswordToken, but 
doing so in a way that makes {{a.equals(b)}} possibly not the same result as 
{{b.equals(a)}} when one of them is a DelegationToken and one of them isn't.

I see two fixes:
# ensure that the entirety of what describes DelegationToken are in the bits 
checked by PasswordToken and don't override it
# change PasswordToken so that it doesn't consider subclasses to be equal... 
they must also be exactly PasswordToken
