Description

Before HDFS-14434, we can access a secure cluster by WebHDFS using user.name parameter and PseudoAuthenticationHandler without kerberos authentication, it's quite useful for some test situation.

HDFS-14434 ignores user.name query parameter in secure WebHDFS when we using WebHdfsFileSystem, so the only way to use user.name parameter is to access by URL.

This Jira try to add more methods to WebHdfsTestUtil to support UT out of package to test WebHDFS in customize way.

More background and discuss, see HDFS-14609.
