Description

When IMPALA-8538 goes in, we'll have support for LDAP authentication over http. The initial design will pass the credentials to LDAP for authentication on every rpc. This has the potential to create a significant load on the LDAP server. We can avoid hitting LDAP on every request by adding support for cookie auth.
