[jira] Resolved: (HADOOP-6770) chang UnixUserGroupInformation to use "user.name" instead of whoami

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-6770?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Owen O'Malley resolved HADOOP-6770.
-----------------------------------

    Resolution: Won't Fix

The code no longer uses the external 'whoami' command. It uses the JAAS interface.

> at present, we fork and use whoami to get the current username.  we can avoid the fork(which can be slow) and user System.getProperty("user.name") which is set by the jvm
