Description

The security code uses the KrbException, Credentials, and PrincipalName classes from sun.security.krb5 and Krb5Util from sun.security.jgss.krb5. These may disappear in future Java releases. Also Hadoop does not compile using jdks that do not support them, for example with the following IBM JDK.
