Eugene Koontz updated ZOOKEEPER-938:
------------------------------------

    Description: 
Support Keberos authentication of clients. 

The following usage would let an admin use Kerberos authentication to assign 
ACLs to authenticated clients.

1. Admin logs into zookeeper (not necessarily through Kerberos however). 

2. Admin decides that a new node called '/mynode' should be owned by the user 
'zkclient' and have full permissions on this.

3. Admin does: zk> create /mynode content sasl:[email protected]:cdrwa

4. User 'zkclient' logins to kerberos using the command line utility 'kinit'.

5. User connects to zookeeper server using a Kerberos-enabled version of 
zkClient (ZookeeperMain).

6. Behind the scenes, the client and server exchange authentication 
information. User is now authenticated as 'zkclient'.

7. User accesses /mynode with permissions 'cdrwa'.

3. Admin does: zk> create /mynode content kerb:[email protected]:x:cdrwa

(note: for now, the dummy ':x' is a placeholder for the password, and is 
required by the zk command parser. The user's actual password is not stored 
within Zookeeper; simply put 'x' there.)

4. User 'zkclient' logins to kerberos using the command line utility 'kinit'.

5. User connects to zookeeper server using a Kerberos-enabled version of 
zkClient (ZookeeperMain).

6. Behind the scenes, the client and server exchange authentication
