[~bolke] has stated that system auth_to_local rules do not necessarily need to
map to an existing user. This is true behavior of MIT Kerberos. While I
appreciate your zealous style to defend existing code, but it is not the only
way for authorization to work. I believe the current patch will work as it was
backward compatible, and please do point out, if it is not backward compatible.
We don't need to debate HADOOP-16023 here because that has already been review
and committed. Now the issue is support multiple components for MIT Kerberos
behavior. Do you see any bug in the patch that should be addressed other than
the philosophical view difference?
