> Introduce a specific provider for integrating the Hadoop GroupMappingServiceProvider for looking up group membership of the authenticated (asserted) identity.
> This will allow customers' existing investments in the Hadoop hook to be leveraged within Knox and used within the access control policy enforcement at the perimeter.
> This mechanism will likely be mutual exclusive of the Shiro provider group support - though there may be use cases where they could supplement each other.
