[jira] [Commented] (HADOOP-6995) Allow wildcards to be used in ProxyUsers configurations

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-6995?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13154469#comment-13154469 ] 

Jeremy Hanna commented on HADOOP-6995:
--------------------------------------

Could this ticket be integrated as part of a 0.20.20x release?  It's a very simple patch that helps out with oozie configuration considerably - especially since 0.23 is not production ready yet.

> There are some cases where the full tightness of the ProxyUsers configuration is not required or available -- for example, not all users of oozie may share a common "oozie-users" group, and the operators would prefer to allow oozie on a given host to act proxy for any user. We should allow the operator to specify a wildcard for hosts or groups in the proxyuser configurations.
