Change subject: IMPALA-11027: Adding flag to enable support for ShellBasedUnixGroupsMapping ...................................................................... IMPALA-11027: Adding flag to enable support for ShellBasedUnixGroupsMapping Currently, Impala doesn't support ShellBasedUnixGroupsMapping and ShellBasedUnixGroupsNetgroupMapping to fetch Hadoop groups as they spawn a new process and run shell command to fetch group info. In Impala, this would happen for every session being created when user delegation is enabled via impala.doas.user and authorized_proxy_group_config. It can have many gotcha's like spawning many processes together in a highly concurrent setting, creation of zombie processes on abrupt crashing of impalad etc. However, not everyone in ecosystem have moved away from shell based group mapping. For instance, in cloudera distribution many components still rely on it. So we need a way to allow users to use shell based mapping instead of not allowing it altogether. This patch provides flag which would allow the support for users that are aware about the gotchas it comes with.
