    @vanzin Spark thrift server needs to access hive metastore principal which 
is a service principal  in secured mode. Besides that I think there's another 
possibility that user might develop a custom service based on spark, in this 
case they also need service principal.  
    And `SecurityUtil.getServerPrincipal` will only replace _HOST in the patter 
of `x/_HOST@domain`, so I think it is safe to apply it globally.
