Brandon Li commented on HDFS-6418:
----------------------------------

DFSConfigKeys is a private class and not intended to be used outside HDFS. 
DFS_NAMENODE_USER_NAME_KEY was renamed to DFS_NAMENODE_KERBEROS_PRINCIPAL_KEY. 
We add deprecated keys usually when the value changes, but in this case the 
value is still "dfs.namenode.kerberos.principal".

> Regression: DFS_NAMENODE_USER_NAME_KEY missing in trunk
> -------------------------------------------------------

>                 Key: HDFS-6418
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-6418
>             Project: Hadoop HDFS
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: hdfs-client
>    Affects Versions: 3.0.0, 2.5.0
>            Reporter: Steve Loughran
>
> Code i have that compiles against HADOOP 2.4 doesn't build against trunk as 
> someone took away {{DFSConfigKeys.DFS_NAMENODE_USER_NAME_KEY}} -apparently in 
> HDFS-6181.
> I know the name was obsolete, but anyone who has compiled code using that 
> reference -rather than cutting and pasting in the string- is going to find 
> their code doesn't work.
> More subtly: that will lead to a link exception trying to run that code on a 
> 2.5+  cluster.
> This is a regression: the old names need to go back in, even if they refer to 
> the new names and are marked as deprecated
