Erik Krogen commented on HADOOP-16214:
--------------------------------------
To give more context on our use case, we have the need for more fine-grained
identity management than a simple username. For example, for the purposes of
ensuring regulatory compliance, we have the need for the behavior of systems to
vary based not just on the simple account name, but also on the specific use
case. This information, as it is closely tied to permissioning, is being
embedded in the identity of the executing application. From a core Hadoop
perspective, it is ok for permissions to be applied only against {{user}}, but
other components may treat the identity differently depending on these
additional components embedded in the principal.

> org.apache.hadoop.security.authentication.util.KerberosName is in charge of
> converting a Kerberos principal to a user name in Hadoop for all of the
> services requiring authentication.
> Although the Kerberos spec
> ([https://web.mit.edu/kerberos/krb5-1.5/krb5-1.5.4/doc/krb5-user/What-is-a-Kerberos-Principal_003f.html])
> allows for an arbitrary number of components in the principal, the Hadoop
> implementation will throw a "Malformed Kerberos name:" error if the principal
> has more than two components (because the regex can only read serviceName and
> hostName).
