> 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.
