Description

It will be good to support doAs in Ranger Admin and be consistent with other components within Hadoop ecosystem. This will help proxies like Knox to front Ranger Admin, but pass the calling user similar to WebHDFS in Ranger, which will enable Ranger to do fine grain authorization and auditing.
