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? > Active Directory Group Mapping Service > -------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-8121 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-8121 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: security > Reporter: Jonathan Natkins > Assignee: Jonathan Natkins > Attachments: HADOOP-8121.patch, HADOOP-8121.patch, HADOOP-8121.patch, > HADOOP-8121.patch > > > Planning on building a group mapping service that will go and talk directly > to an Active Directory setup to get group memberships -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
