> We have a use case where a Gateway would provide unified and controlled access to secure hadoop cluster.
> The Gateway itself would authenticate to secure WebHDFS, Oozie and Templeton with SPNego.
> The Gateway would authenticate the end user with http basic and would assert the end user identity as douser argument in the calls to downstream WebHDFS, Oozie and Templeton.
> This works fine with WebHDFS and Oozie. But, does not work for Templeton as Templeton does not support proxy users.
> Hence, request to add this improvement to Templeton.
