Bolke de Bruin commented on HADOOP-15996: ----------------------------------------- Personally, I am not convinced of using a real plugin style system. That’s a kind of complexity and possible ambiguity that I wouldn’t want in core/security. If ACLs are the target I would make that non-ambiguous and call it “hadoop.security.usernames_acl” or something like that. I suggest staying away from making 'auth_to_local' more complex than it already is. Is there really a use case to make the plugins stackable? > Plugin interface to support more complex usernames in Hadoop > ------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: HADOOP-15996 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-15996 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: security > Reporter: Eric Yang > Assignee: Bolke de Bruin > Priority: Major > Attachments: 0001-HADOOP-15996-Make-auth-to-local-configurable.patch, > 0001-Simple-trial-of-using-krb5.conf-for-auth_to_local-ru.patch > > > Hadoop does not allow support of @ character in username in recent security > mailing list vote to revert HADOOP-12751.
