[jira] [Created] (HADOOP-8170) LdapGroupsMapping should support a configurable search limit

LdapGroupsMapping should support a configurable search limit
------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: HADOOP-8170
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-8170
             Project: Hadoop Common
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: security
            Reporter: Jonathan Natkins


LDAP servers can be configured with search limits, which would cause the LdapGroupsMapping class to throw an exception if it returned more results than the search limit allowed. If a user belonged to a very large number of groups, or the search limit was set to a fairly low number, this could result in some undesirable behavior.

The LdapGroupsMapping should be augmented to page results, if necessary.
