> AuthenticationFilter exposes several configuration params such as
> AuthenticationFilter#AUTH_TOKEN_VALIDITY. Normally these params go into web.xml. The limitation of this approach is that each webserver (RM/NM/HBase) has to configure these params separately in the corresponding web.xml files.
> To address this use case, we can create a new class called HadoopCoreAuthenticationFilter that extends AuthenticationFilter and overrides the getConfiguration method to get the config params from core-site.xml as well. All the webservers that depend on hadoop core automatically get a single config defined in core-site.xml.
> The config in core-site.xml looks like this:
> <property>
>   <name>hadoop.http.authentication.signature.secret</name>
>   <value>13048203948239</value>
> </property>
> <property>
>   <name>hadoop.http.authentication.token.validity</name>
>   <value>48</value>
> </property>
