> It is possible to use NetGroups for ACLs. This requires specifying the
> config property hadoop.security.group.mapping as
> org.apache.hadoop.security.JniBasedUnixGroupsNetgroupMapping or
> org.apache.hadoop.security.ShellBasedUnixGroupsNetgroupMapping.
> The authorization to proxy a user by another user is specified as a list of
> groups hadoop.proxyuser.<user-name>.groups. The Group resolution does not
> work if we are using NetGroups.
