Christopher Tubbs commented on HADOOP-6670:
-------------------------------------------
I just tried to compare two UGIs using UserGroupInformation.equals() and it
failed, because even though they had the same Subject (.equals), they were not
the same instance (==). This seems like a bug which was introduced here. Why
was (==) used to compare Subject? Was this intentional?
> UserGroupInformation doesn't support use in hash tables

> The UserGroupInformation objects are mutable, but they are used as keys in
> hash tables. This leads to serious problems in the FileSystem cache and RPC
> connection cache. We need to change the hashCode to be the identity hash code
> of the Subject and change equals to use == between the Subjects.
