> Knox currently uses JSESSIONID for its session cookie.  This is a very common cookie name and could possibly conflict with other services.  Consideration should be given to using something more specific like KNOXSESSION.  This is only one extra character BTW.  This should be configurable.  Some additional thought needs to be given regarding changing the default.  The Hive JDBC driver at least may have added special support for replaying the JSESSIONID to optimize its interaction with Knox.  Changing the default to be something different would require coordination there at a minimum.
