Todd Lipcon commented on HADOOP-6832:
-------------------------------------
I think we should make this a default servlet filter, and add a configuration
value like {{hadoop.http.staticusermapping.user}} that determines the username.
We can default this to Dr.Who, or perhaps {{webuser}} or {{nobody}} to be more
standard-looking. We can also support dfs.web.ugi as a deprecated configuration.
Let me know if you want me to pick this up where you left off, Owen.
