Description

We provide basic support for HBase to run on top of kerberos-authenticated Hadoop, by providing configuration options to have HMaster and HRegionServer login from a keytab on startup. But this isn't documented anywhere outside of hbase-default.xml. We need to provide some basic guidance on setup in the HBase docs.
