Description

org.apache.hadoop.security.LdapGroupsMapping currently supports hadoop.security.group.mapping.ldap.base as search base for both user and group searches. However, this doesn't work when user and group search bases are different like ou=Users,dc=xxx,dc=com and ou=Groups,dc=xxx,dc=com.

Expose different configs for user and group search base which defaults to the existing hadoop.security.group.mapping.ldap.base config
