---------------------------------------
yes, test failures are not related to the patch. Thanks Brock for the review!

> Hadoop 2.3 includes miniKdc module. This provides a KDC that can be used by
> downstream projects to implement unit tests for Kerberos authentication code.
> Hive has lot of code related to Kerberos and delegation token for
> authentication, as well as accessing secure hadoop resources. This pretty
> much has no coverage in the unit tests. We needs to add unit tests using
> miniKdc module.
> Note that Hadoop 2.3 doesn't include a secure mini-cluster. Until that is
> available, we can at least test authentication for components like
> HiveServer2, Metastore and WebHCat.
