Description

If the following properties have a whitespace at the end of the value it causes problems with Kerberos authentication...

<property>
    <name>hbase.regionserver.keytab.file</name>
    <value>/etc/hbase/conf/hbase.krb5 </value>
</property>
<property>
    <name>hbase.master.keytab.file</name>
    <value>/etc/hbase/conf/hbase.krb5 </value>
</property>

I'm guessing this can affect other properties as well, so can the values be trimmed when read?
