Description

Flume throws ClassNotFoundException when used with IBM JDK on AIX.

2011-11-17 14:37:51,025 [logicalNode dump-13] INFO debug.ConsoleEventSink: ConsoleEventSink( debug ) opened
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com.sun.security.auth.UnixPrincipal
at org.apache.hadoop.security.UserGroupInformation.<clinit>(UserGroupInformation.java:303)
at java.lang.J9VMInternals.initializeImpl(Native Method)

Similar issue with https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-6941 (and most likely same fix would work). Can be reproduced with flume dump 'tail("test.txt")' or equivalent. The tail sink does work though (it outputs the stuff to the console).
