> In the framework for secure implementation using UserGroupInformation.doAs
> (https://hadoop.apache.org/docs/current/hadoop-project-dist/hadoop-common/Superusers.html),
> a trusted superuser can submit jobs on behalf of another user in a secure
> way. In this framework, the superuser is referred to as the real user and the
> proxied user is referred to as the effective user.
> Currently when a job is submitted as an effective user, the ACLs for the
> effective user are checked against the queue on which the job is to be run.
> Depending on an optional configuration, the scheduler should also check the
> ACLs of the real user if the configuration to do so is set.
> For example, suppose my superuser name is super, and super is configured to
> securely proxy as joe. Also suppose there is a Hadoop queue named ops which
> only allows ACLs for super, not for joe.
> When super proxies to joe in order to submit a job to the ops queue, it will
> fail because joe, as the effective user, does not have ACLs on the ops queue.
> In many cases this is what you want, in order to protect queues that joe
> should not be using.
> However, there are times when super may need to proxy to many users, and the
> client running as super just wants to use the ops queue because the ops queue
> is already dedicated to the client's purpose, and, to keep the ops queue
> dedicated to that purpose, super doesn't want to open up ACLs to joe in
> general on the ops queue. Without this functionality, in this case, the
> client running as super needs to figure out which queue each user has ACLs
> opened up for, and then coordinate with other tasks using those queues.
