> In Karaf, most of the code is run under the "karaf" user. When a user ssh
> into Karaf, commands will be executed under that user.
> Deploying hadoop inside Karaf requires that the authenticated Subject has the
> required hadoop principals set, which forces the reconfiguration of the whole
> security layer, even at dev time.
> My patch proposes the introduction of a new configuration property
> {{hadoop.security.force.login.user}} which if set to true (it would default
> to false to keep the current behavior), would force the use of the login user
> instead of using the authenticated subject (which is what happen when there's
> no authenticated subject at all). This greatly simplifies the use of hadoop
> in such environments where security isn't really needed (at dev time).
