Christopher Tubbs resolved ACCUMULO-3938.
-----------------------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
> Incorrect use of Class.getCanonicalName()
> -----------------------------------------
>
> Key: ACCUMULO-3938
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-3938
> Project: Accumulo
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: mapreduce, test
> Reporter: Christopher Tubbs
> Assignee: Christopher Tubbs
> Fix For: 1.6.4, 1.7.1, 1.8.0
>
> Time Spent: 0.5h
> Remaining Estimate: 0h
>
> It looks like there's some places where we're incorrectly using
> getCanonicalName instead of getName for serialization (when we expect to be
> able to later call Class.forName() to load the class dynamically).
> Most of these occur in tests, and don't matter, because there's no difference
> between the name and canonical name. However, there is a big issue in
> RangeInputSplit, which serializes the AuthenticationToken name... this could
> be a serious bug if any other AuthenticationToken types are created and used
> by people implementing their own security modules.
> General rule:
> * use getName() if you expect to later call forName()
> * use getCanonicalName() if you're generating code or printing log messages
