Devaraj Das commented on HADOOP-7115:
-------------------------------------

It was the getpwuid calls leading to ldap outages in our major clusters (almost 
twice every week). After implementing this cache, we didn't have a single 
incident (and hopefully we will have none in the future too).

The version of nscd on our clusters proved to be really unreliable.

> Add a cache for getpwuid_r and getpwgid_r calls
