[jira] [Commented] (RANGER-2135) BaseClient forces Hadoop login

["Zsombor Gegesy (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RANGER-2135?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16515200#comment-16515200 ] 

Zsombor Gegesy commented on RANGER-2135:
----------------------------------------

Implementing a BaseClient subclass is not required for having a service plugin, it's just a convention, which currently all the connector implementation follows. If you don't need kerberos for accessing your service, then you can safely create your own CephClient, which doesn't extends BaseClient. 
 Maybe moving the current login code into a 'BaseHadoopClient' child class from BaseClient, and changing the parent class in every connector's  Client class would be a good idea. What do you think? Do you want to contribute a patch for it?

> BaseClient does a login on instantiation that is bound to Hadoop. This requires service plugins to require a username/password, which is undocumented. It also limits the functionality to the Hadoop ecosystem.
> Suggestion:
>  * Provide a default constructor
>  * Make init() protected
>  * Make serviceName protected
>  * Make defaultConfigFile protected
> Note: I encountered this when writing a S3/Ceph plugin
