> When token is used for authentication over RPC, information other than
> username may be needed for access authorization. This information is
> typically specified in TokenIdentifier. This is especially true for block
> tokens used for client-to-datanode accesses, where authorization is based on
> access permissions specified in TokenIdentifier, and not on username. Block
> tokens used to be called access tokens and one can think of them as
> capability tokens. See HADOOP-4359 for more info.
