Rohini Palaniswamy commented on HCATALOG-297:
---------------------------------------------
If there was a common way to do for both input and outputformat it would be
even more nice.
> HCatalog should have a way to add Job Credentials for input format

> Project: HCatalog
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: security
> Affects Versions: 0.4
> Reporter: Rohini Palaniswamy

> To talk to external systems like hbase, delegation tokens have to be added to
> the JobConf Credentials object. In case of OutputFormat, this can be done in
> checkOutputSpecs. But in case of input, the getSplits() cannot be used as the
> JobConf passed is only readable. Need a solution to pass job credentials to
> the job in that case.
