Tom White commented on HADOOP-6299:
-----------------------------------
Sorry to come to this so late, but I notice that this change removes some
public classes (e.g. User, UnixUserGroupInformation) - should we not deprecate
them first before removing them?
> Use JAAS LoginContext for our login

> Currently we use a custom login module in UnixUserGroupInformation for
> acquiring user-credentials (via config or exec'ing 'whoami'). We should
> switch to using standard JAAS components such as LoginContext and possibly
> implement a custom UnixLoginContext for our current requirements. In future
> we can use this for Kerberos etc.
