Description

Please provide a means to do a Kerberos login with a given principal name and a password. Currently, UserGroupInformation provides loginUserWithKeytab, but no means to do login with a password.
As background, I am a developer for an ISV developing a native YARN application that works with an existing data-quality/integration suite. This suite has a GUI that can ask the user for their Kerberos principal name and password. We have successfully used the UserGroupInformation loginUserWIthKeytab, but can not find a means to do a login with a password given the current API.
