Larry McCay commented on YARN-4006:
-----------------------------------

Okay...

I think that we can boil this down to just wanting to add custom authentication 
handler support then.
Which is perfectly reasonable.
However, pulling AltKerberos into the discussion without details is adding 
confusion/ambiguity that makes review impossible.

* I would like to see a common builder class created to add handlers to the 
FilterConfig based on this hadoop.http.authentication.type configuration 
pattern.
* I would also suggest that something other than AltKerberos be considered and 
non-browser clients setting useragent strings to trick them into acting like 
browser agents. This could be configured exactly where you need them with via 
hadoop.http.authentication.type or specifically for ATS with the PREFIX.
* Additionally, external clients that require holes punched should seriously 
consider using Apache Knox. These are exactly the sort of usecases targeted by 
Knox and will work with kerberos internally and whatever authentication 
mechanism that you want at the gateway. Whether we need to add ATS API support 
is a separate question but service definitions are pretty easy in Knox these 
days.
