[jira] [Commented] (HADOOP-11683) Need a plugin API to translate
long principal names to local OS user names arbitrarily
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-11683?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15752105#comment-15752105 ]
Graham Simpson commented on HADOOP-11683:
-----------------------------------------
This is a darn useful feature for folks using Centrify or such products to integrate correctly with Active Directory. I'd argue this is a critical issue as correct mapping is essential to hadoop operation. You can use auth_to_local to workaround but of course this requires namenode restart which in a large enterprise cluster is not really an option.

> We need a plugin API to translate long principal names (e.g. john.doe@EXAMPLE.COM) to local OS user names (e.g. user123456) arbitrarily.
> For some organizations the name translation is straightforward (e.g. john.doe@EXAMPLE.COM to john_doe), and the hadoop.security.auth_to_local configurable mapping is sufficient to resolve this (see HADOOP-6526). However, in some other cases the name translation is arbitrary and cannot be generalized by a set of translation rules easily.
