+    Class for user to group mapping (get groups for a given user) for ACL. 
+    The default implementation,
+    org.apache.hadoop.security.JniBasedUnixGroupsMappingWithFallback, 
+    will determine if the Java Native Interface (JNI) is available. If JNI is 
+    available the implementation will use the API within hadoop to resolve a 
+    list of groups for a user. If JNI is not available then the shell 
+    implementation, ShellBasedUnixGroupsMapping, is used.  This implementation

+    <code>bash -c groups</code> command to resolve a list of groups for a user.
