PS1, Line 15: arguments to InitKerberosForServer().
mind adding a sentence here saying _why_ you want to make them configurable? ie 
what's your use case in Impala? (iirc it's because you depend on the kinits 
done within the C++ side to get credentials into a cache that's then read by 
the Java side, right?)

I think using boost::optional<> is nicer here

hrm, given that this is already configurable via a flag, why do we need it as a 
parameter? Couldn't impala just set FLAGS_keytab_file as necessary?

Also, it seems a little confusing that, if you override it here, you'll ignore 
the keytab, but then we have a bunch of other references to FLAGS_keytab_file 
in the rpc/ library which wouldn't match up with the keytab that got logged-in 
from, right?

PS1, Line 467: if (krb5_ktname.empty()) {
             :     setenv("KRB5_KTNAME", FLAGS_keytab_file.c_str(), 1);
             :   } else {
             :     setenv("KRB5_KTNAME", krb5_ktname.c_str(), 1);
             :   }
> This is a little ugly, but making the FLAGS_keytab_file available in the in
maybe just scratch the defaults and instead change the call site in 
server_base.cc to use the flags?

PS1, Line 473:   if (disable_krb5_replay_cache) {
why do you need to configure this? We found that the replay cache was a huge 
scalability and performance issue, so I would definitely recommend that Impala 
disable it as well.

Is the issue that you are also using Kerberos to authenticate Thrift clients 
which don't have the KRPC nonce? I wonder if there is any way you can 
selectively disable it for KRPC without disabling for Thrift.
