> The netgroups implementation of GroupMappingServiceProvider (see
> ShellBasedUnixGroupsNetgroupMapping.java) does a fork of a unix command to
> get the netgroups of a user. Since the group resolution happens in the
> servers, this might be costly. This jira aims at providing a JNI-based
> implementation for GroupMappingServiceProvider.
> Note that this is similar to what
> https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-6818 does for implementation of
> GroupMappingServiceProvider that supports only unix groups.
