Description

If secure RPC is enabled, then users must enable the TokenProvider coprocessor. They also must acquire a job token and add it to the job configuration, by way of something like:

if (User.isHBaseSecurityEnabled()) try {
  User.getCurrent().obtainAuthTokenForJob(conf, job);
} catch (InterruptedException ie) {
  Thread.interrupted();
}

TableMapReduceUtil will do this automatically.

Add some detail about this to the manual.
