Description

KNOX-2974 and KNOX-3023 support adding group headers to requests flowing to downstream endpoints. Currently the groups headers is based on number of groups (1000 default). A lot of webservers and loadbalancers support header sizes between 4KB - 8KB which be an issue when header sizes are large.

This JIRA is to update this logic to limit groups in one header to configured size in KBs.
