> [SPNEGO|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SPNEGO] is the standard mechanism for Kerberos authentication over HTTP. 
> Thrift should give users the option of using a Thrift HTTP client or server that is capable of authentication using SPNEGO/Kerberos. This will be useful for Hadoop which has chosen Kerberos as its standard authentication protocol, as well as people who need to use Kerberos authentication with Thrift based services running in servlet containers like Tomcat.
