[jira] [Commented] (HADOOP-10565) Support IP ranges (CIDR) in proxyuser.hosts

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-10565?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13987431#comment-13987431 ] 

Benoy Antony commented on HADOOP-10565:
---------------------------------------

This patch delegates the ProxyUsers's ip/host name handling  to MachineList. 
MachineList does ip and host lookup faster. It also enables ability to specify ip ranges in CIDR format.

> In some use cases, there will be many hosts from which the user can impersonate. 
> This requires specifying many ips  in the XML configuration. 
> It is cumbersome to specify and maintain long list of ips in proxyuser.hosts
> The problem can be solved if proxyuser.hosts accept ip ranges in CIDR format.
