> If a Hadoop cluster is configured to use ShellBasedUnixGroupsMapping for
> user/group name mapping, occasionally some group names may become
> unresolvable (for example, using SSSD).
> ShellBasedUnixGroupsMapping uses shell command "id -Gn" to retrieve the group
> name of a user; however, the existing logic assumes that if the exit code of
> the command is non-zero, the user has no group name at all. The shell command
> in Linux returns non-zero exit code if a group name is not resolvable.
> Unfortunately, it is possible that a user belongs to multiple groups, and any
> partial failure in group name resolution would denied the user's access.
> On the other hand, the JNI implementation (JniBasedUnixGroupsMapping) is more
> resilient. If any group name is unresolvable, it is simply ignored, and
> whatever are resolvable are returned.
> It is arguable that if the group name is not resolvable, the administrator
> should configure their directory/authentication service correctly, and Hadoop
> is in no position to handle it, but since the existing unit tests assume the
> output of JNI-based and shell-based implementation are the same, we should
> improve the shell-based group name resolution, and make it as resilient as
> the JNI-based one.
