> The authentication mechanism for http specified via
> _hadoop.http.authentication.type_ is matched in in a case sensitive way. If
> one specifies the type {simple,kerberos} in the wrong case, the following
> exception is thrown .
> Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: Simple
> at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(URLClassLoader.java:366)
