Allen Wittenauer commented on HADOOP-7083:
------------------------------------------
At this point, I'm -1 on this patch.
The more and more I think about it, the more and more I view this as a bad hack
that shouldn't go into the core code. If SecureIO requires native code, it
requires native code. Developers and users who want to work with Hadoop with
the identity features enabled need to work with it as it is intended to be run.
Otherwise we end up with "it works on my machine!" scenarios.
> Allow SecureIO to be disabled for developer workstations

> 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.
