Andrew Purtell commented on HBASE-7781:
---------------------------------------
bq. I suggest renaming the title.
Good idea, how about "Update security unit tests to use a KDC if available".
> Update security unit tests to run with a MiniKDC

> We currently have large holes in the test coverage of HBase with security
> enabled. Two recent examples of bugs which really should have been caught
> with testing are HBASE-7771 and HBASE-7772. The long standing problem with
> testing with security enabled has been the requirement for supporting
> kerberos infrastructure.
> We need to close this gap and provide some automated testing with security
> enabled, if necessary standing up and provisioning a temporary KDC as an
> option for running integration tests, see HADOOP-8078 and HADOOP-9004 where a
> similar approach was taken.
