> There is an existing current_user() UDF which returns the user provided by the configured {{hive.security.authenticator.manager}}. This is often the same as the user provided on connection, but some cases, like HadoopDefaultAuthenticator this could be different.
> Some cases we need the logged in user independently of the configured authenticator, so a new UDF is created which provides this - returns the {{SessionState.get().getUserName()}}.
