Aaron T. Myers commented on HADOOP-8121:
----------------------------------------

Very close now, Natty. Just a few little comments.

# In the class comment, rather than "slaves to an LDAP server" how about 
"connects directly to an LDAP server" ?
# Should use 4-space indentation on the class declaration line.
# No need to initialize SEARCH_CONTROLS in the static { } block. Just do it 
inline with the declaration.
# Don't pull out the config keys on every call to getGroups. Instead, just do 
it once in the call to setConf and set some instance variables.
# Why have a synchronized block around all the content of getGroups, vs just 
making the whole method synchronized?
# I don't understand the comment "getDirContext needs to be synchronized, since 
we're potentially setting up a singleton"
# What's the point of assigning SEARCH_CONTROLS to a local variable in 
getGroups?
# I don't understand the comment "// If we didn't get the group, just return 
the groups we know about"
# Some odd indentation in getDirContext, and should probably synchronize 
getDirContext as well.
# s/for/of/g in "The URL for the LDAP server to use"
# No need for the instance variable mappingService in the test.
# I don't understand where the "hdfs" user comes from in testGetGroups. Why 
isn't that mentioned anywhere in setupMocks?
