Using different security mechanism instead of Kerberos/Simple

Hi,

While going through the code we learned that except for simple and
kerberos, there seems not to be a way we could plug in our own
authentication mechanism.  Are there any plans in accommodating the change
any soon? Also if to abstract out the security component, is there any way
other than replacing the UserGroupInformation logic?
