------------------------------------
Thanks [~jiajia] for the great work. The performance speedup sounds great, even
though it's only relevant to the tests.

> As discussed in the mailing list, we’d like to introduce Apache Kerby into
> Hadoop. Initially it’s good to start with upgrading Hadoop MiniKDC with Kerby
> offerings. Apache Kerby (https://github.com/apache/directory-kerby), as an
> Apache Directory sub project, is a Java Kerberos binding. It provides a
> SimpleKDC server that borrowed ideas from MiniKDC and implemented all the
> facilities existing in MiniKDC. Currently MiniKDC depends on the old Kerberos
> implementation in Directory Server project, but the implementation is stopped
> being maintained. Directory community has a plan to replace the
> implementation using Kerby. MiniKDC can use Kerby SimpleKDC directly to avoid
> depending on the full of Directory project. Kerby also provides nice identity
> backends such as the lightweight memory based one and the very simple json
> one for easy development and test environments.
