------------------------------------

             Summary: Load the included Credential classes by default
                 Key: OOZIE-1656
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OOZIE-1656
             Project: Oozie
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: core
    Affects Versions: 3.3.2
            Reporter: Robert Kanter


Currently, to use the {{<credentials>}} section, the user has to add the 
associated Credentials class to a property in oozie-site.xml and also come up 
with a name for that class.  

To make things easier for the user, and to standardize the names, I think it 
would be helpful to include the built-in Credentials classes by default.  We 
can do it similar to how we do the Services and some other properties where we 
have a {{.ext}} version of the property.  i.e.

{code:title=oozie-default.xml}
    <property>
        <name>oozie.credentials.credentialclasses</name>
        <value>
            hcat=org.apache.oozie.action.hadoop.HCatCredentials,
            hbase=org.apache.oozie.action.hadoop.HbaseCredentials,
        </value>
        <description>
            foo
        </description>
    </property>
{code}
{code:title=oozie-site.xml}
    <property>
        <name>oozie.credentials.ext.credentialclasses</name>
        <value> </value>
        <description>
            bar
        </description>
    </property>
{code}
Oozie would then load the built-in ones by default (and with standardized 
names) and users could add/override custom ones.  

The documentation should also be updated.
