[jira] [Created] (HBASE-22197) document delegation tokens

Sean Busbey created HBASE-22197:
-----------------------------------

             Summary: document delegation tokens
                 Key: HBASE-22197
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-22197
             Project: HBase
          Issue Type: Task
          Components: documentation, security
            Reporter: Sean Busbey


Got some questions today about delegation tokens. The asker referenced this very old page from the old HBase wiki (which we deprecated as defunct ages ago):

https://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/Hbase/HBaseTokenAuthentication

I was going to refer them to the up to date docs, since I thought we migrated all the content. However, a review of the current Ref Guide shows that we do not have docs on delegation tokens.

Ideally this would be 2 sections:

* an addition to the "secure configuration" section that explained how to use delegation tokens in a secure cluster, with the primary example of their use in MR and/or spark
* an appendix that explains the current implementation for those working on hbase internals
