Description

Develop a new method for getting the user list.

Method signature is
public ArrayList<String> getHadoopMultiUsersList() throws IOException;
Add new attribute in system-test.xml file for getting userlist path.

For submitting the jobs as different user a proxy user id is needed. So,get the available users from a userlist and then pass the user as proxy instead of hardcoding user id in a test.
