> Sometimes, users will want to provide their own User class depending on the type of security they will support in their local environment. For instance, running Hadoop1 vs Hadoop2 vs CDH means potentially different ways of getting the UserGroupInformation. 
> This issue abstracts out the mechanism by which we obtain an o.a.h.hbase.security.User to a UserProvider. This UserProvider can then be extented as a Hadoop 1/2 shim as well as supporting custom authentication code.
