* built from source and ran unit tests
* verified signatures
* ran knox samples for webhdfs, hive, hbase
* used nodejs client to interact with webhdfs and webhcat

* ran knoxshell samples noted:
1. logging seems broken and is printing to console - at least with default
config - will need to file a JIRA
2. hive samples are difficult to run through executable jar due to needing
to add hive jars to classpath - will file JIRA and write article to share a
workaround
3. wrote a handy sample for testing that will make a nice feature in the
next release - a simple hive shell called knoxline :)

* Tested service discovery with and without remote config monitoring and
with ambari service monitoring - this is amazing work and was fun to test -
couple things noted:
1. it can get confusing trying to keep track of where topologies are coming
from - I believe we have a JIRA for CLI listing of remote descriptors and
provider configs already - that will help
2. it seems that you can get into a state where if you have an XML issue in
a provider config that just fixing the provider config in ZK doesn't result
in the topology getting repulled - needs a JIRA and additional investigation

* Tested UI improvements to protect against changing generated topologies -
very nice!
* Tested Okta with KnoxSSO for SAML
* Tested Form based provider with KnoxSSO

I don't find any of the above to be blockers and am very happy to give my:

+1
