Todd Lipcon commented on HADOOP-7083:
-------------------------------------
Allen: Some people just don't want to install gcc/autotools/etc on their Macs.
It's not that the native code is that bad, it's just a pain on platforms like
OSX and not worth it when no one plans to deploy on OSX. If you want to
contribute a patch that improves that platform, I don't think anyone's against
it, but a simple config switch is certainly easier.

> In testing with secure Hadoop, the new requirement for native code is
> annoying on platforms like OSX where the native code can be tricky to get
> compiled and working. We should allow developers to disable this aspect of
> security by setting a special flag.
