> Currently Hive's LDAP Atn provider assumes certain defaults to keep its
> configuration simple.
> 1) One of the assumptions is the presence of an attribute
> "distinguishedName". In certain non-standard LDAP implementations, this
> attribute may not be available. So instead of basing all ldap searches on
> this attribute, getNameInNamespace() returns the same value. So this API is
> to be used instead.
> 2) It also assumes that the "user" value being passed in, will be able to
> bind to LDAP. However, certain LDAP implementations, by default, only allow
> the full DN to be used, just short user names are not permitted. We will need
> to be able to support short names too when hive configuration only has
> "BaseDN" specified (not userDNPatterns). So instead of hard-coding "uid" or
> "CN" as keys for the short usernames, it probably better to make this a
> configurable parameter.
