    Description

      As discussed in HADOOP-9797, it would be better to improve UGI incrementally. Open this JIRA to improve User class to:

      • Make it extensible as a base class, then can have subclasses like SimpleUser for Simple authn, KerberosUser for Kerberos authn, IdentityTokenUser for TokenAuth (in future), and etc.
      • Decouple it from Kerberos.
